By default, NExS creates rows that are ``one unit'' in height. A unit is defined to be the space needed to store a numeric zero. As mentioned earlier in this chapter, you can use the Sheet Defaults dialog box to change this default for the spreadsheet, creating a uniform set of rows of some user-specified height.
You can also set individual rows to be wider or narrower than the default by using the Row Height option under the Format menu or by simply dragging the row border with the mouse.
To change the default row height:
To explicitly set the height of selected rows:
To apply the default row height to selected rows:
NExS provides a snap-to mechanism which forces the row height to best fit the cell contents. This is particularly useful when combined with the text Wrapping feature. These two features together allow you to define a column width to achieve optimal page layout and force long text strings to wrap within the column bounds rather than be truncated or overflow into the adjacent cell. Then you can use the snap-to mechanism to adjust the row height to accommodate the wrapped text.
To snap row height to best fit cell contents:

You may change the row height dynamically, by dragging the lower row border to the desired width within the maximum height allowed (20).
