1. Drag & Resize: A mouse is all you need. You can always drag and change the height and width of your cell, row or column. Just hover your mouse at the edge of your row and then you’ll see your mouse cursor is changing. Then click it and it will show you present row size. Now drag your mouse until you are satisfied with the result. Same thing you can do for columns.
