Resultset column width in Management Studio

Question

Is there any way to alter the column width of a resultset in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio?

I have a column which contains a sentence, which gets cut off although there is screen space.

| foo | foo2 | description |          | foo | foo2 | description         | |--------------------------|    TO    |----------------------------------| |  x  |  yz  | An Exampl.. |          |  x  |  yz  | An Example sentence | 

I would like to be able to set the column size via code so this change migrates to other SSMS instances with the code.

What you can do is alias the selected field like this:

SELECT name as [name        .] FROM ... 

The spaces and the dot will expand the column width.
