Introduction to Text Tables in WPS
Text tables in WPS are a versatile feature that allows users to organize and present data in a structured format. Whether you are creating a simple list or a complex spreadsheet, text tables can help you maintain a clean and professional look. However, the default spacing between the cells in a text table may not always meet your design requirements. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adjusting the spacing between text tables in WPS.
Understanding the Text Table Layout
Before you can adjust the spacing, it's important to understand the layout of a text table in WPS. A text table consists of rows and columns, with each cell containing text or data. The spacing between the rows and columns can affect the readability and overall appearance of the table. By default, WPS uses a standard spacing that may not be ideal for all types of documents.

3. A dialog box will appear with various options for customizing the table.
Modifying Row and Column Spacing
Once you have accessed the table properties, you can modify the spacing between rows and columns. Follow these steps:
1. In the Table Properties dialog box, navigate to the Row and Column tab.
2. Look for the Row Height and Column Width options. Here, you can specify the exact height and width of each row and column.
3. To adjust the spacing between rows, increase or decrease the Row Height value. Similarly, to adjust the spacing between columns, modify the Column Width value.
4. You can also use the Equal Width option to ensure that all rows or columns have the same width or height.

1. Go to the Home tab in the WPS ribbon.
2. Click on Styles and select Modify to open the Styles dialog box.
