I've got a sheet with columns at work

date text (sometimes multi-line wrapped) $ nnnn.nn


I can wrap text no problem but I hope approximate double spacing so I
don't have to put a blank row between each item. I need the space
between items so the text isn't squashed all together for a court form

I guess I want to be able to say height of cell necessary for the
wrapped text however much it might be plus n for each row height.

I can't find a way. Is it possible?

Excel 2002 Win xp

Thanks for your help.
