It looks as though cells need attributes like "default h/v size"

But you could ask the same for any attribute - eg colour: "I've set a
few cells here and there in my 100,000 cell spreadsheet to bright red
- I'd like to set the rest to green". I can't see a general way of
handling this type of problem - and is it reasonable anyway?
Yes, you /could/ ask it, Mike, and I think it's not really unreasonable. In
a post to this thread just now, I mentioned that Quattro and PlanPerfect do
this (default column width) in the context of a "Sheet Properties" format
menu, which allows for changing default properties where a property had not
been specifically set. Of course it does mean that each property so treated
must include a flag to indicate that it has been set. However, I don't find
this approach always useful; the default width is most used, so it's
probably acceptable that Excel includes only this one, as "Standard Width".
