I'm putting this in the New Users section, because it will probably be
obvious to experienced users, but when I finally figured it out, it was of
enormous help to me.

I have a bunch of spreadsheets that are being used as a database. When
comparing the data in the spreadsheets to the original data, I had a hard
time because the spreadsheet rows didn't correspond in size to the original
data. I tried adjusting the font sizes in both, but couldn't get the rows to
line up.
I finally found that the thing to do is to set the Height of the spreadsheet
row to the font size of the other file. Then the font size can be 1 less for
ease of reading it. I found that the Distributed orientation worked best.
Note that font sizes are specified as the height in points. There are 72
points in an inch.
This is part of a macro that sets up my files for reviewing.
