Microsoft Excel Question:
Well, then how do I fit something to one page wide?

Answer:
Set up the document. Change the scaling to "Fit to 1 pages wide, blank pages tall. Do a page preview. Close the page preview. Back on the Page Setup dialog, Excel has now changed the "Adust to: x%" value to be the proper percentage to make your document fit on one page wide. Change your scaling option from "Fit To:" to be "Adjust to:" and leave the percentage where Excel set it. If you add columns or adjust the size of columns, you will have to repeat this trick.
