Description Jeroen 2011-10-09 05:18:34 UTC 
Problem description: 
Not able to paste the column width

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select e.g. 5 columns on sheet 1
2. Goto sheet 2, select 5 columns and do Paste Special
3. There is no 'Paste column width'. Uncheck 'paste all' and select 'Formatting'. Indeed the column width is adjusted but the formatting of this sheet too; there is no way to just paste the column width as in MS Excel.

Current behavior:
See 'steps to reproduce'.

Expected behavior:
See 'steps to reproduce'.

Comment 3 Timur 2015-04-15 08:48:52 UTC 
In addition to an explanation in Comment 0 (cannot paste the column width without formatting), there's another practical problem with this: 
- if we want to copy just some cells (part of the sheet), not entire columns, then we can't paste them with their width at all, and they retain the width of a new sheet.
That may be another issue, but the solution seems the same: to have "Keep source column width" option.
The issue is inherited from OO.
