Google Sheets
Modifying Columns, Rows, and Cells
To modify the row height:
You can make cells taller by modifying the row height. Changing the row height will create additional space in a cell, which often makes it easier to view cell content.
- Hover the mouse over the line between two rows. The cursor will turn into a double arrow
.
Selecting the row border - Click, hold, and drag the row border down to increase the height. Dragging the border up will decrease the row height.
Moving the row border - Release the mouse when you are satisfied with the new row height.
The resized row
To modify all rows or columns:
Rather than resizing rows and columns individually, you can modify the height and width of every row and column in a spreadsheet at the same time using the Select All button. This method allows you to set a uniform size for the spreadsheet's rows and columns. In our example, we will set a uniform row height.
- Locate and click the Select All button just below the formula bar
to select every cell in the spreadsheet.
Clicking the Select All button - Hover the mouse over the line between two rows. The cursor will turn into a double arrow .
- Click, hold, and drag the row border to modify the height.
Changing the height of all rows - Release the mouse when you are satisfied with the new row height for the spreadsheet.
