Original Title: "2010 excel line spacing"
How do I change the spacing between the lines in 2010 excel, Is there a way to make the lines closer together
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Do you mean within a cell with text wrapping turned on? You can only change the font size, you have no direct control over line spacing within a cell.
If you mean between cells, you can change the row height, of course.
Seriously, this is a major flaw with Excel. You should be able to select or deselect "double spacing" as an option within a cell. It seems ridiculous that this is omitted. If you highlight text in Word with the Format Painter and then select text in an Excel cell, it should match the formatting to the Word formatting as well. Major flaw.
I just added a "1" in my font text box and it worked just fine.
Note that with some of the font options the spacing is narrower.... I have used Arial Narrow...
Agree.
