default row height and column widths

I need to paste alarge amount of text into a cell without affecting the width
of column or height of row

Hi,
I couldn't get my copy of Excel (2003) to do otherwise, without choosing
either
Format> Cells> Alignment> Wrap text
or
Format> Column> AutoFit Selection
AFTER pasting text into the cell. Are you saying this is not your experience?
PS: posting your e-mail address in a public forum is a good way to get both
spam and viruses sent to it.
