Introduction to Row Spacing in Excel Tables
Adjusting the row spacing in an Excel table is a crucial aspect of formatting that can greatly enhance the readability and presentation of your data. Row spacing refers to the amount of space between rows in a table, and it can be adjusted to make your data more organized and visually appealing. In WPS, a popular alternative to Microsoft Excel, you have several options to modify row spacing to suit your needs.
Understanding the Importance of Row Spacing
The row spacing in an Excel table plays a significant role in how your data is perceived. Here are a few reasons why adjusting row spacing is important:
1. Readability: Properly spaced rows make it easier for the reader to distinguish between different data entries, especially when dealing with large datasets.
2. Aesthetics: A well-formatted table with appropriate row spacing looks more professional and polished.
3. Navigation: Adjusting row spacing can help users navigate through the table more efficiently, especially when scrolling through large amounts of data.
Accessing the Row Spacing Feature in WPS
To adjust the row spacing in a WPS Excel table, you first need to access the formatting options. Here's how to do it:
1. Open your WPS Excel document and select the table you want to modify.
2. Click on the Table Design tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.

Adjusting Row Spacing Manually
One of the simplest ways to adjust row spacing is to do it manually:
