Introduction to Line Spacing in WPS Excel
Line spacing in WPS Excel refers to the amount of space between lines of text within a cell. Proper line spacing can enhance readability and the overall appearance of your spreadsheet. Adjusting line spacing is a simple task that can be done in just a few steps.
Understanding Line Spacing Options
Before adjusting the line spacing in WPS Excel, it's important to understand the different options available. There are three primary types of line spacing:
1. Single: This is the default line spacing, where text is placed on a single line within a cell.
2. One and a Half: This option adds a half-line space between each line of text.
3. Double: This option adds a full line space between each line of text.
Additionally, you can also specify custom line spacing values if the standard options do not meet your needs.
