“EntireColumn.AutoFit” Help!

I frequently do Format/Column/AutoFit to get my columns to fit (expand
or shrink) to fit the contents in every column, and would like to be
able to have Excel do it automatically. Someone said I could use a
Worksheet Selection Change event, like this:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Columns("A:IV").EntireColumn.AutoFit
End Sub

I was clueless, but took a shot in the dark and with the file open,
opened up Visual Basic, inserted a Module, copied and pasted their
text, saved and closed. It WORKED! Well, it worked at WORK anyways,
and now that I’m trying it again at HOME, I can’t get it to work at
all. This “dummy” needs some help please! Using Microsoft Excel 2000
in Windows 2000 at work and ME at home. Thanks.
 
Right click the sheet tab where you want this, select view code,
paste it into the window that opens
 
Hi Fred,

Could be your Macro Security setting is set too high. Goto
Tools|Macro|Security, select "Medium" and hit OK.

Tim,

OTOH since the OP is using an event macro I can't see that it would work
putting it into a module
so I can't understand how it could work at work.
