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.

    I have the same requirement... Is there a way to ask Microsoft to remedy this? It seems to be a simple one to solve...

    I have the same question - change the spacing within a cell to bring the words/ numbers closer together

    I remember being able to do this in older versions of excell.  It was either line spacing or paragraph.

    You can't control the line spacing within a cell. It is determined by the font size.
