how do I change the height of a row

you can adjust the hieght by selecting the rows you want to change, then use the Table inspector to change the height:

What you are facing let me think to what I get here.

In my accountings spreadsheet,

the rows are 14 points high

the font used is Helvetica Neue, Normal, size 9.

But, if I apply Fill Down somewhere,the height of every rows switch to 16 points.

As this behavior doesn't surface in a new document, I assume that something is corrupted.

sorry i want my application table view dynamically increase the height of row when we add text init..

Like this (Row 4)?

Note the check box beside the word "Wrap" in the format bar above the table.

I think I know what KOENIG is trying to say in his January 2012 comment, Barry... it's not a "wrap" issue, but something else that I've been seeing as well.

I have a document with many columns of data (a gradebook for my class), and occasionally I need to "Fill Down" by dragging the lower left corner down... the fill down part works well, but each of the rows gets re-sized. Selecting all of the rows and re-sizing them works fine, it is just kind of a drag... has anyone else seen this behavior? If not, then sorry for the interuption! Thanks for reading!

Hi mm,

My response was, as indicated in the line above the message, to gagsworld.

Hi Barry! Thanks for your quick reply, let me try to express my problem through a video instead:

http://mhchem.org/zNumbers.mov

In the video I show a typical spreadsheet, and I want to "fill down" a column using a formula (a simple "sum" of previous columns). Notice that the cell height was originally 0.13 inches.

After the successful "fill down", the row height is changed to 0.15 inches. None of the other heights were 0.15 inches (they are all 0.13 except for the top row which is 0.32 inches), yet this happens to me constantly.

You mentioned the "wrap" option to gagsworld, but this should not be a factor in row height lke this... or should it? I use Wrap for other things in my spreadsheet, yet I don't see how it would help here... but I am certainly not the Numbers (or even Excel) expert!!! 🙂

Thanks for your time (and patience); peace!

I think this is a bug (or feature) where Numbers resizes the rows to fit the font size. I can easily replicate it, except mine all change to 0.25, not 0.15 (but I may be using a different font than you). It does not do this if you use the Fill Down command from the menu, only when you drag-fill.

Hey, the "menu Fill Down" option worked great - no row height change! - I can work with the menu version of fill down (until the big is fixed (or until I understand the "feature" better! lol) - THANKS!!! Have a great day; peace! 🙂
