It would appear that all cells are resized so that their height is the same as the height of the cell with the biggest height. There is also a maximum height, though, and when a cell exceeds that height, little scroll bars appear in the cells themselves.
So far, I've encountered these tags: ph, cf, hyperlink, bookmarkstart, and bookmarkend. What's annoying about the tags is that they don't appear to have any special delimiters on the clipboard -- each tag is preceded and followed by a line break (and successive tags have only one line break between them). This makes it particularly hard to "find/replace" the tags from the clipboard into something placeable.
An odd bug is that if a cell contains tags, you can't use Ctrl+V or any other method to paste content. If you do use Ctrl+V in such a cell, then instead of pasting the clipboard content, Neotrans duplicates the source text underneath the current cell content. This is particularly frustrating if you have two nearly identical translations with tags in them -- you can't simply copy the one translation and paste it into the other target cell, but instead you have to re-type the translation word for word, letter for letter, into the second cell. This can be solved with AutoIt, of course (the "Send" command sends text one letter at a time).
In addition, if you start typing at the start of a cell in which there is already content, your typed text may end up in a different format. This means that if you want to type into a cell with existing content, you must start from character position #2, and then go back and delete the first character after you've typed your text.
