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.

    Do you think that we can get Microsoft to add this feature to Excel?

    I mean text line-spacing, as in Word.   I have done it in Excel, but with difficulty.   I had to go into Word and copy text into the Excel cell.   I have tried to do it again, but can't remember how I did it.    My Excel entries have the same 10-point line spacing as in my Word setting.

    There should be a way to control this in Excel (when text-wrapped) as in Word.

    Excel does not support variable line spacing in cells, and as far as I know it never has.

    It would be a nice feature to have, but I doubt very much that the Excel development team will implement it.
