I want a thin column where I type JAN, FEB, MAR but it auto changes to spelling the full month.

Can this be stopped?

Click on the top of the column (A/B/C/etc.) to highlight the entire column. Under Inspector (view/show inspector), click on cell/data format/and set the preferred date format. If you choose a smaller format, you can resize the entire column.
