Common questions about Row Height and Column Width usually focus on measurement units, batch resizing behavior, and restoring default column width; this FAQ covers 4 frequent questions.
FAQ
What should I do if row height values do not feel intuitive?
- Make sure that you are adjusting Row Height instead of Column Width.
- Remember that row height is measured in points, not centimeters.
- If you need a more exact layout, convert your target measurement first and then enter the value.
Why do multiple rows or columns become the same size after batch dragging?
- Check whether multiple rows or columns were selected before dragging.
- Dragging the border of a selected group applies the same size to that group.
- If you want different sizes, select and resize each area separately.
How do I restore the default column width?
- Select the columns that you want to restore, or select all columns in the worksheet.
- Click the Insert tab and open the Row and Column drop-down.
- Select Standard Column Width to restore the default width of 8.18 characters.
What can I do if automatic fit still does not display content well?
- Start with Auto Fit Row Height or Auto Fit Column Width.
- If the result is still not ideal, drag the border manually for fine adjustment.
- For areas that need a consistent layout, enter a fixed value for more exact control.
