Hello.
I need to indent text data in a cell with upon each entry the same way you would be able to format a paragraph in Word with the 'space above and space below' options. I thought I found exactly what I needed in Excel Help which states exactly the following:
'To indent text from the left, right, or both sides of the cell, in the Horizontal box, click Left (Indent), Right (Indent), or Distributed (Indent). Then, in the Indent box, click the amount of indent you want.'
'To indent text from the top, bottom, or both top and bottom of the cell, in the Vertical box, click Top (Indent), Bottom (Indent), or Distributed. Then, in the Indent box, click the amount of indent you want.'

The problem is that when I go to the Vertical Alignment, I do NOT have either of those options. (The 'Top (Indent)' or the 'Bottom (Indent)'). I DO have the 'Left (Indent)' and 'Right (Indent)' in the Horizontal Alignment area.
Any ideas where my Top (Indent) and Bottom (Indent) options are??
Thanks!
