Why does the visible row height look different from what I expected after I set it?

  1. Check whether the value you entered is in points.
  2. If you need to estimate another length unit, convert it before entering the value.
  3. If the cell contains more content, try AutoFit Row Height to see whether it matches the display you need.

Why do multiple rows or columns become the same size after a batch adjustment?

  1. When you select multiple rows or columns and apply one setting, the selected area uses the same size.
  2. If you want each row or column to fit its own content, use AutoFit Row Height or AutoFit Column Width.
  3. If you need finer control, select one row or one column at a time and adjust it again.

How can I quickly restore all columns to the default width?

  1. Select all columns that you want to restore.
