About This Feature
Overview
Row Height is a table editing feature in WPS Office for Windows that helps you control the visible height of each row based on content and layout needs.
Core tasks include:
- Drag to adjust row height: useful for quick visual changes to one row or nearby rows.
- Set row height precisely: useful when you need a specific value or a consistent height across selected rows.
- Distribute rows evenly: useful for making multiple rows the same height for a cleaner layout.
Common use cases include schedules, data tables, and summary tables.
It helps reduce uneven table spacing and makes content easier to read.
Distinct: it supports both direct mouse dragging and precise value-based adjustment in the same workflow.
