Duplicating a set of columns with various widths within the same spreadsheet

Question

I'm trying to duplicate a set of 5 columns multiple times on the same sheet. For example, column A is wide, columns B & E are medium width and Columns C & D are narrow. I want to duplicate this width format multiple times in the adjoining columns. Is that possible without having to manually adjust each column?

Answer 1

It seems that Google Spreadsheets doesn't consider column width a format that can be copied. Paint format and selecting the entire column don't work.
