It is not unusual to use macros to process data and format output in an workbook. If you use macros to do this type of work, you may be interested in changing the height of a row using a macro. If so, you should pay attention to the RowHeight property. This property, when applied to a Row object, indicates the height of the row in points.
For instance, the following code snippet steps through the rows in a selection and sets the height of each row to 36 points (one-half inch):
For Each r In ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Rows r.RowHeight = 36 Next r
