Is there any way in Excel 2002 to make a row and/or column a specific width
in terms of inches? For example if I want a row of cells to be 1/2" high by
1/4" long, how do I do this?

buddy

Row heights are measured in points. There are 72 points to an inch.

The number that appears in the Standard column width box is the average number
of digits 0-9 of the standard font that fit in a cell.

No relationship between the two.

If you want to use VBA to set height and width in mm....which can be converted
to inches....

25.4 mm/inch 12.7mm/.5 inch 6.35mm/.25 inch

Ole Erlandson has code for setting row and column dimensions.
