AskWoody LoungerThanks, Steve. Your suggestion of setting the vertical alignment to Center was a good one. Plus I set the Row Height at 50, which will accommodate four lines of text. Unfortunately, when you set the Row Height, it becomes a fixed height that will not expand to accommodate more than the four lines. It would be nice if there were a setting that gave a minimum Row Height of 50 but would expand for anything larger. I went through the document and made sure there were no cells that had more than four lines. I didn’t need to do any horizontal adjusting.
Thanks for your very complete answer. You covered all the bases!

AskWoody LoungerI have a long text chart (about 100 pages; no math) with several columns created by someone else. When printed, all cell lines are visible. I would like to increase the amount of white space at the top and bottom of each cell (i.e., more space above the first line of each cell and below the last line of each cell). I have looked through the Excel Help screens and my Excel manual, but I haven’t discovered how to do this.
I’ve created lots of charts like this in Word, and it’s easy to increase the inner cell margins there. It seems like Excel must have a way to do this. Can someone help?
