    How can I make vertical space between lines of text in a cell?

    I do not see where I can adjust the line spaceing I know about SHIFT return but I am talking about text wrapping automatically to the next line in a paragraph. Using Franklin Gothic Medium. I would also like to be able to set the font to a default font because it keeps defaulting as times new roman.
