I have a rather large list of parts that are exported from an Oracle download. When I pull this report I often have to adjsut the column width in order to read the long part descriptions. If I click on the top of the row and do wrap text to get a cells with a greater row height sometimes all the text fits and sometimes it is hidden. Are some of the columns locked or is there something I can do so it extends to show all text, and stays at the original row height if the text fits as original?

What I understand is you are not able to adjust column and row hight and width in one click.
Just selct everything by clicking diagonal downward arrow between "Column A" and "Row 1". Then double click on width of column.

[TABLE="width: 192"]


<colgroup><col style="width: 48pt;" span="4" width="64">
<tbody>[TR]

[TD="class: xl64, width: 64, bgcolor: red"] [/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, width: 64, bgcolor: #D9D9D9"]A[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, width: 64, bgcolor: #D9D9D9"]B[/TD]

[TD="class: xl65, width: 64, bgcolor: #D9D9D9"]C[/TD]
