Hi,

Do you mean that your row height automatically increases when you use text
with a carriage return?

I don't know how you can lock the row height. You can select all and untick
"Wrap Text" in "format" afterwards to force the rows back to height 12, or
you could write a macro to do this whenever the sheet is changed, but I've
never seen a way to lock the height.

I think it is assumed that if you use Alt + Enter you want to have text on
two lines in one cell...

If you set the rowheight to what you want, then it shouldn't change until you
autofit that rowheight.

Select the row or cell
Format|Row|height
(or use the row header and drag it where you want it)
