Column width
tomc72 , as workaround, you can hide the headings by going to VIEW tab and unchecking the Headings under "Show" as shown in below image. Then on scrolling down, the columns won't shift to the right. But compromise is, you cannot see row numbers (1,2,3...)or column headers (A,B,C...).
Many thanks Nicolino. Are you able to tell me the code that will keep the row-number column at a fixed (wider than the default) width, please?

tomc72 , also if you want that in all of your workbooks, the column width remains a fixed default value of your choice, then MS suggests setting up a template.

Automatically open a workbook template or worksheet template when you create a new workbook or worksheet
Thanks Amit.
I know how to adjust all the lettered columns, it´s the column that holds the built in row-numbering that I want to control i.e. the left of column A.

tomc72 , i don't think that is possible to control in Excel.
If you want, you may like to pose this problem as a new thread again so that it gets fresh attention of other experts here. Take care to use a more descriptive heading and describe your problem with help of an image like below, because frankly, it is a unique request and difficult to understand with only words. The non-helpful replies to you till now are signalling this too.
