Tips

• The default row height in Excel is typically 15 points for most fonts and sizes.

• Row height can range from 0 to 409 points. Setting a height to 0 hides the row.

• Using AutoFit ensures that all text, including wrapped text, is visible without manually measuring.

Differences Between Windows and Mac

• On Mac, the steps are mostly the same, but the Format option is found under the Home tab in the menu bar.

• Mac users can also right-click the row number and select Row Height or Fit to Data for the AutoFit option.
