About This Feature
Overview
Row Height in WPS Office for Windows is a table display feature that helps you adjust how much vertical space each row uses, so cell content can be easier to read and the table layout can be easier to review.
Core capabilities include:
- Adjusting row height: Open the Row Height control from the toolbar and switch between preset heights.
- Choosing preset heights: Select Low, Medium, High, or Extra High.
- Optimizing the current view: The change affects the current view display and does not change the underlying data.
This feature is useful when you need to review dense tables, make long content easier to scan, or keep different views at different display densities.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports quick row height adjustment from the toolbar with four preset options: Low, Medium, High, and Extra High. The change affects display only and does not change data content. | Excel lets you drag row boundaries to change the height of one or multiple rows, and it also supports fitting row height to content by double-clicking the boundary. | Google Sheets lets you resize rows from the context menu, enter a custom height, or fit the row to data. | Notion table views support row reordering, column resizing, and wrapped cell content, but an independent preset row height control is not described on the official table help page. | Acrobat focuses on PDF viewing and zoom controls rather than native spreadsheet row height editing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The toolbar provides direct preset row height choices for faster visual adjustments. Distinct: The feature is oriented toward quick view formatting without changing table data. | Compared with WPS: Excel offers more granular drag-based and auto-fit methods, but preset row height switching is not its main workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports custom numeric sizing and Fit to data, while WPS is more direct for switching among fixed presets. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on database-style organization and wrapped content instead of traditional spreadsheet row height control. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is not a like-for-like spreadsheet editing tool for this task. |

Overall Conclusion: WPS is a practical choice when you want to switch row display height quickly through preset options in a spreadsheet workflow. If you need exact numeric sizing or fit-to-content behavior, Excel and Google Sheets provide different adjustment methods, while Notion and Adobe serve different product scenarios.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Need | How Row Height Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Making table content easier to read | General office users | Cell content is not fully visible | Switch to a taller preset row height |
| 2 | Keeping table layouts consistent | Report editors | Rows look uneven across the sheet | Apply a consistent preset height |
| 3 | Adjusting different views separately | Users working with multiple views | Different views need different display density | Change row height in the current view only |
| 4 | Reviewing long text entries | Data entry and review teams | Small row height makes checking harder | Use High or Extra High for better readability |
| 5 | Browsing more rows on screen | Lightweight viewers | Large rows reduce visible table area | Use Low or Medium to keep the layout compact |
