How can I make my row height in Excel exactly what I need?

[Custom Exel row heights]

I am trying to set up columns of letters so that I can print them off, cut
them up into strips and paste the column onto a drum. How can I specify the
row height exactly so the letters fit round the circumference?

Row heights are measured in points or pixels. There are 72 points to an inch
and "maybe" 96 pixels to the inch.

The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average number
of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell.

When dragging the column width or row height you will see two
numbers.........one is width/height as above, the other is pixels.

For an interesting and enlightening discussion on this subject see

If you want to use VBA to set height and width in mm

Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions.
