I am inputting values into a spreadsheet using Apache POI. These values have newlines, and I was able to use this code successfully:

CellStyle style = cell.getCellStyle()
style.setWrapText(true)
cell.setCellStyle(style)

Unfortunately, while the text is wrapping correctly, the rows are not always growing in height enough to show the content. How do I ensure that my rows are always the correct height?
