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.

    You are replying to a post by Hans who states in the post that you have no direct control over the spacing within a cell.

     

    That feature has not changed since April 16, 2011

    If line spacing is not adjustable in excel, can someone tell me why I have two different line spacing in two cells in this file. My problem is that the double line spacing appears in an excel file passed to me and I would like to remove the double line spacing.

    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.
