I want the default paste option to be "Keep Source Column Widths." Is this possible? If so, how do I change the default settings?

Thanks.

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
I'm not aware of any way to change the default paste settings.
But in 2003 at least, you can use Paste Special, to paste the column widths, which I think is similar to what you are asking.
Note, Excel may get confused if you have merged cells in either the source or destination.
