What menu? 5.So far,I can`t do this,it opens as it was BEFORE I set the rows and > columns. Ok, I'll try it myself so I better can understand what you mean. I'll be back shortly... 1. Open an instance of Calc - Done. 2. Open a file with numbers in it - Can I just enter the numbers manually? I am not sure what file to open otherwise... 3. Set rows and columns to the size I want - In this example I just set them to whatever I feel like, this is only an experiment anyway. 4. Save this instance of Calc as the default that will open if I just click "Calc" in the menu - As I said, I am not sure what menu you are talking about, is it New... → Calc? So after setting columns to their new sizes I did this: 1. Click File → Templates → Save... 2. Click My Templates and enter the name of your new template in the "New template" field. 3. Click OK. 4. Click File → Templates → Organise... 5. Double click My Templates. This shows your new template. 6. Right click your new template and select Set As Default Template 7. Close OpenOffice.org 8. Open OpenOffice.org Calc 9. The columns should now be set to the values of your new template. 10. This worked for me, does this not help in your case? Every time I open Calc now, I get the new column sizes. There is also an easy way to automatically adjust the column widths depending on the content of the cells: 1. Highlight the columns you want to adjust. Do this by click and drag on the column headers, not only a bunch of cells, making sure all 65536 cells of every column are selected. 2. Double click the "separator" to the right of the header to the right in your selection. All columns now adapt to fit the cell contents as good as possible.
