Excel 2003

Adjusting row height

Changing the row height is similar to adjusting a column width. There will be times when you want to enlarge a row to visually provide some space between it and another row above or below it.

To adjust the row height of a single row:

• Place your mouse pointer to the lower edge of the row heading you want to adjust.
• The mouse pointer changes to the adjustment tool (double-headed arrow).
  
  
  
  
• Drag the Adjustment tool up or down to the desired height, and release the mouse button.
  
  

To AutoFit the row height:

• Place your mouse pointer to the lower edge of the row heading you want to adjust.
• The mouse pointer changes to the Adjustment tool (double-headed arrow).
• Double-click to adjust the row height to "AutoFit" the font size.
• Excel 2003 "AutoFits" the row, making the entire row slightly larger than the largest entry contained in the row.
