Opening the Table in WPS Word
To begin adjusting the row height and column width, you first need to open the table within your WPS Word document.

Once the table is inserted, you can start making adjustments to its dimensions.
Adjusting Row Height

2. Right-click and Choose Row Height: With the row(s) selected, right-click anywhere within the row. From the context menu, select Row Height.\
3. Enter the Desired Height: In the Row Height dialog box, enter the desired height for the row(s). You can enter the height in points, inches, or centimeters, depending on your preference.
4. Apply the Change: Click OK to apply the new row height. The row(s) will now be resized accordingly.
Adjusting Column Width

5. Apply the Change: Click OK to apply the new column width.
Using the Ruler for Precise Adjustments
WPS Word also provides a ruler at the top and left side of the document window, which can be used to visually adjust row height and column width. Here's how to use it:

2. Select the Table Tab: In the Table Properties dialog box, click on the Table tab.
3. Adjust Row Height and Column Width: Here, you can specify the exact row height and column width for the entire table, or for individual rows and columns. You can also adjust the spacing between rows and columns.
