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.

    No version of Excel has ever had a line spacing function so it was never "taken out" as you state.

    Office comes bundles with Word.................use that application for your word processing and leave Excel to the number-crunching.

    I see no reason to prevent this feature in Excel

    Fact that there was not prior such a feature doesn't mean that it should not be included now

    Always there is a first time for everything, don't you agree?

    I agree that it may be a good feature for those who need Excel to have word processing capabilities.

    I just posted to point out I did not agree that it it had been "taken out" as you stated.
