Adjust Cell Height

Anonymous

I noticed in Excel 2010 that I cannot increase my cell height by more than 409.50 (546 pixels).  Is there a way to override this if I have more text than will fit in that size?

    ... Is there a way to override this if I have more text than will fit in that size?

    According to Excel Specifications and Limits, you have reached the design limit of a worksheet's height. To increase the displayed text, I would recommend one or a combination of:

    1. Widening the column
    2. Reducing the point size of the font
    3. Changing the font to one with a narrower width (e.g. Arial Narrow in place of Arial)
    4. Merge cells vertically to multiply the 409 pt limit (e.g. merge two cells for 818 pt vertical height)

    Remember that the same limits and specifications place a 32,767 character limit per cell.

    Yes Jaeson I was afraid that the user met the maximum.  My users need to remember that Excel is not a word processor.  :)
