How row heights are determined in Excel

Anna Flores · Oct 4, 2003

Is it possible to change the unit of measure of row
heights settings lets say to centimeters or inches? How?

Hi Anne,

The short answer is no. Row height is measured in points
or pixels. 72 points or 96 pixels per inch. Don't ask
about columns!!!

See
http://www.erlandsendata.no/english/index.php?d=envbawssetrowcolumnmm
for a small macro that does it.

This said, you can zoom both a spreadsheet window and a printout, and then "millimetres
where" goes into philosophy mode <g>
