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. Adjusting line spacing can improve readability and the overall appearance of your spreadsheet.

Understanding Line Spacing Options
WPS Excel offers several line spacing options that you can choose from to fit your document's needs. These options include:
