[Solved] Initial Opening Of A Spreadsheet

I quite recently moved from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Since then, each time I open a new spreadsheet in OpenOffice, all the columns, rows and cells are 'clattered together' in the smallest space available (as shown in the attachment). I fully accept that I could 'Select All' and adjust the spreadsheet on each occasion but it should not be so and I should not have to as previously it was not the case.

Is anyone able to suggest a workable solution to my current problem? (I have already uninstalled and reinstalled OpenOffice but the situation remains). Grateful thanks in advance of your assistance.

The zoom level of your document has been changed; you can use the zoom slider on the right of the status bar (see image below), menu option View | Zoom, or use the mouse wheel and Ctrl key to vary the zoom level.

Grateful thanks, robleyd. Your first option only works for that open spreadsheet only but you second piece of advice has done the job. Thank you. 👍
