It determines how much content can fit within a single row without causing overflow or distortion. Adjusting the row height can help maintain a clean and organized look for your table.

To adjust the row height, you first need to access the table properties. Here's how you can do it:
1. Open your WPS Word document and insert a table if you haven't already.
