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.

    MS should provide the line spacing tool provided in Word. This is a no-brainer.

    Hey, MS, PLEASE give us the line spacing commands for Excel, same as Word!!!  I have Microsoft 8 and it seems that the spacing between lines was smaller in my previous version.

    See http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/change-line-spacing-in-excel-HA001034624.aspx. Gives some insight, though doesn't solve the problem.

    That is the same URL, but I was trying to make it a working hyperlink. Doesn't seem to work as hyperlink no matter what I do, which is also annoying...
