Add "pad" space to text in cell?

[Ed]

Is it possible to "pad" the text in a cell with added space before and/or
after the text? I have Wrapping turned on. With AutoFit, the top and
bottom cell edges come right up to the text; I'd like a little white space
between the text and the top and bottom edges, but without having to
manually adjust all the rows individually. Is this possible?

Maybe you could add an alt-enter before the text and another alt-enter at the
end.

If your cells are formulas, you can use =char(10)&"yourformula"&char(10)

Thanks, Dave. I was hoping there was something like the paragraph
formatting in Word that would allow me to add just a few points of space,
rather that a whole line width. I don't know that I can format the
beginning and end char(10) as a different font size to give me a different
space.

Excel doesn't really make a good word processor <bg>.

Agreed! Sometimes Word doesn't either - but that's for a different NG! <G>
