About This Feature

Overview

Row Height and Column Width is a built-in spreadsheet layout feature in WPS Office for Mac. It helps you adjust row height, column width, and standard column width based on content and page layout needs.

Core tasks include:

Set an exact row height or column width by entering a value from the Row and Column menu.
Use Auto Fit Row Height and Auto Fit Column Width to adjust size automatically based on content.
Use the right-click shortcut menu to resize selected rows or columns quickly.
Drag row or column borders to resize a single row, multiple rows, a single column, or multiple columns manually.

This feature is useful for organizing data tables, improving print layout, keeping row and column sizes consistent, and making long cell content easier to display.
