About This Feature
Overview
Row Height in WPS on macOS helps you adjust how tall each row appears in a table view, so text-heavy records are easier to read and the layout is easier to scan.
This feature supports three practical tasks:
- Open the Row Height menu from the top toolbar.
- Switch between Low, Medium, High, and Extra High preset heights.
- Improve the current view without changing the data stored in cells.
It is useful when you need to review longer text, make a table more compact, or keep a view visually consistent before sharing it.

|---|---|
| Operating system | A Mac device that can run WPS Office normally |

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On macOS, WPS provides a Row Height control in the top toolbar with four preset options: Low, Medium, High, and Extra High, for quick visual adjustment in the current table view. | Excel supports changing row height by dragging row boundaries, setting a specific height, and fitting height to content. | Google Sheets lets users resize rows, enter a custom height, or fit rows to data. | Notion table views support row reordering and wrapped cell content, but the official help page does not describe a separate preset row height control. | Adobe provides row height controls in InCopy table formatting, but this is a publishing-layout workflow rather than a native spreadsheet row-height feature. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the Row Height control is directly available in the top toolbar for quick switching. Distinct: preset height options make it easy to keep a view visually consistent. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers more precise numeric control and auto-fit behavior, while WPS focuses on preset height choices in the current feature flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports custom values and Fit to data, while WPS emphasizes faster preset selection. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on database presentation and text wrapping than on dedicated row-height presets. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's nearby capability is aimed at layout tables instead of everyday spreadsheet editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want a fast way to standardize row display height on macOS, WPS offers a direct preset-based workflow. If your work depends more on exact numeric values or automatic fitting, Excel and Google Sheets provide finer-grained controls.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How Row Height Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reviewing text-heavy records | Project members and coordinators | Long content is hard to read in short rows | Switch to High or Extra High to show more content clearly |
| 2 | Browsing dense data | Everyday spreadsheet users | Large row spacing reduces visible information | Switch to Low or Medium to fit more rows on screen |
| 3 | Keeping a view consistent | Team collaborators | Mixed row display density looks uneven | Apply one preset height across the current view |
| 4 | Checking long entries | Editors and reviewers | Multi-line text needs clearer visibility | Increase row height before reviewing each record |
| 5 | Preparing a table for sharing | Presenters and report owners | The table needs a cleaner visual layout | Adjust to a suitable preset before presenting or exporting |
