Maximum Row Height Greater than 409.5
I read and Googled how I can increase the height of a row in Excel. Someone
suggested merging two cells together. When I tried that, Excel came back and warned me that it would inly keep the Upper Left-Hand column and it didn't lie. I have data in columns A thru E. How can I keep the data and make the row height more than 409.5??? The font size is already really small. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your review and hopeful for a Reply. PSULionRP |

what exactly are you trying to do? If you have large amounts of text, maybe
a table in Word would be better. Those tables can also do calculations... "PSULionRP" wrote: I read and Googled how I can increase the height of a row in Excel.

Maximum Row Height Greater than 409.5
The Excel spreadsheet contains procedures for doing certain "Data Repairs".
This one row has a lot of procedures and like I said I've reduced the font, but we're still not seeing the entire cell. So we'd like to expand that row height so we can see the entire procedure rather than having to click into the cell and going through it that way. Any suggestions??? Thanks!

You cannot increase the row height above 409.5.

Thanks in advance for your review and hopeful for a Reply. PSULionRP Would increasing the column width help? If the procedures are as lengthy as you suggest, how about putting each procedure in a text document and hyperlinking in Excel to that document instead? Bill |
