About This Feature
Overview
Row Height is a basic layout feature in WPS Spreadsheet for Mac that lets you adjust the height of one or more worksheet rows so cell content is easier to read and the sheet layout stays organized.
This feature supports several common methods:
- Set an exact row height from the Home tab through the Rows and Columns menu.
- Enter a row height value directly from the right-click menu.
- Use AutoFit Row Height to adjust row height based on content.
- Apply the same row height setting to multiple rows at once.
It is useful for organizing data tables, improving print layout, handling cells with longer content, and keeping multiple rows visually consistent.
