Would prefer this to be the default setting for a spreadsheet, but failing that to be the default setting for a column.
Hello,
- Open a new Calc document
- 
View -> Styles(orF11)
- Click icon leftmost (beneath word Styles)
- Right click on Default (Cell Style) -> Modify - Tab: Alignment
- Set option [x] Wrap text automatically
- Click OK
- File -> Templates -> Save as Template...
- Provide a Template Name (e.g MyCalCDefault)
- Select a  Template Category (e.g My Templates)
- 
Important: Set option [x] Set as default template
- Click Save
- Close the document (No further save required)
- Open a new document an test you settings.
PS: Optimal row height should be the default
Hope that helps.
Perfect answer re: formatting the cells to wrap text.
But doesn’t address row height … which doesn’t seem to be optimizing by default.
Row height did automatically adapt to the text length in my test, but of course I did not know any settings of your previous default template and the method works for new files only.
/question/282179/ has no real answer, but it’s better to discuss the issue there. Has a bug report been filed?
