Have you experimented with adjusting the column width or row height? Try
dragging to make columns wider or rows higher. Another shortcut is to
double-click at a column boundary (between C and D, for example). That will
adjust the column width to accommodate the largest data entry.

I work in Excel 2007. I find it very frustrating to not be able to adjust
the internal margins (padding) of cells to avoid the text from
cell-to-cell
all being smashed together.
I do go in and put a forced return before and after the text in a cell to
separate it, but that is annoying to have to do.

MicroSoft? Can't you do something about this?

I found and option to do it through "text box pane" but cannot get there.

How do I adjust Excel cell margins in Office 2007? I thought it would be
under format cells, but there only margin settings I can find are for the
entire worksheet. Please help!
