That sound pretty laborious to me, especially if there are a lot of columns that need adjusting. If I'm forced to deal with Excel in this situation, I select the entire spreadsheet and then use the above-mentioned "Auto format". LibreOffice gets it right in the first place - no manual adjustments required. > Similarly for row heights, although you may need to turn on the > text-wrapping for all the cells first. > > The biggest issue with Excel is that it is simply not accurate, and > therefore untrustworthy.
