Office 1997 allowed stretching the 1A column without expanding the entire
column doesn't seem to work in Office 2003. Please explain
 
Can't remember much about 1997, but 2003 has Merge and Center. This allows
you to make cell A1 cover columns A and B or A through Z, or whatever you'd
want. Probably due to this, there wouldn't be a need to retain the feature
you describe.
 
I think you mis-remember.

Excel 97 nor any other version of Excel has ever allowed one cell to be
wider than the rest of the column.

Column widths and row heights are properties of the column and/or row.

BTW..........1A is not a column or a row.

A1 is a cell reference.

You may use "center across selection" or the not recommended "merge cells".

mis-remember. Sounds like a Roger Clemens reference.

Didn't think that was so, but I can't rmemeber 10 years ago any more than I
can remember yesterday.
