I know how to "Wrap text" to make this happen, but my issue is I am having to do this EVERY time I open a spreadsheet in Google Docs. It is a quick couple of clicks, but it adds up. Is there a way to make 'set wrapping off' as the default?

There's a "wrap text" icon in the button bar just below the menu -- 4th button from the right, between the "merge cells" and "functions" buttons.
By default, text wrap is enabled. You can disable it for specific cells, a range of cells, entire rows, entire columns or the entire spreadsheet. Select the relevant cells (or column or row header or the top left corner for the entire spreadsheet), then just click the "wrap text" button to disable it.
I found a workaround for this:
Just replace all "\n" symbols (LF - Line feed or 0x0A in ASCII) that's represented by CHAR(10) in Formulas by "\r" symbols (CR - Carriage return or 0x0D in ASCII) that's represented by CHAR(13).
And when you copy and paste as plain text it will be without added quotes in it.
Here is formula to do it:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,CHAR(10),CHAR(13))

The default wrap setting in new Google Sheets appear to be the opposite of that in the previous version. Switch to new Google Sheets.
