Hi :) At the top of each column is a greyish box with the columns reference number in it. Similarly for each row. Clicking on one selects the whole column, or row so you can format entire columns or rows at a time.
At the top-left corner above the top row and before the first column is an empty greyish box. Click on that to select the entire sheet. There is probably a way to set your formatting as default for every new sheet, perhaps something to do with styles? If so then you might be able to apply the style to existing sheets and ones from other people as well as new sheets.

I rechecked in Calc on Version 3.6.0.1 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:101)) with the texts I myself had pasted in previously and then followed the procedure you outlined above using Scott's text, but the results were the same, i e, the right lateral boundary of the cells in question were violated in each case. I then tried writing in a Chinese text directly in a cell, using SCIM 1.4.9, but no change ; again the text did not wrap. Thinking that this problem couldn't be limited to Chinese and Japanese texts, I tried writing in an English text with the same discouraging results. I then went to Format → Cell → Alignment → Properties and ticked the box entitled «Wrap text automatically» and repeated the procedure - as I suspected, the text, no matter whether the language in which it is couched, is wrapped. Thus, on my machine at least, not wrapping is the default, but can be achieved, as seen above, by ticking the «Wrap» box. What I cannot do, however, is to set «Wrap text automatically» as the default so that texts are automatically wrapped when pasted or written in ; rather, I have to tick the box for every individual cell. Here below an illustration of what I see when the box is and not ticked, respectively.... [image: Infogad bild 1] How can I set Calc so that «Wrap text automatically» becomes the default ?...
