I would like to copy the row heights from one worksheet to another, but none
of the other formatting (I realize I can copy-paste special an entire row and
get the row height to change, but I can't have the rest of the formatting
copy with it). Is there any reason that the paste-special dialog box has a
'column width' selection but not a selection for 'row height'???

Select the rows to copy and paste to sheet2.

EditClearAll

Data and formatting is gone but row heights remain.

Why there is no "row height" in paste special is not known by anyone but the
developers.

I am actually pasting not to a blank sheet, but a sheet with it's own data
and formatting that I want to keep. The section I want to adjust the row
heights on is identical to that of the first sheet except for a number of
conditional formats and cell colors that I want to retain.

Is a macro ok?

If yes:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim iRow As Long
Dim FromWks As Worksheet
Dim ToWks As Worksheet

Set FromWks = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ToWks = Worksheets("Sheet2")

For iRow = 3 To 19
ToWks.Rows(iRow).RowHeight = FromWks.Rows(iRow).RowHeight
Next iRow

End Sub

I assumed that the row numbers of each range match up on both sheets.

If you're new to macros:

Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)

And I also assumed you wanted to use rows 3:19.
