Increase Cell Margins - sometimes the text tab isn't in format options

Hi, I'm looking to increase the size of the margins in my cell, particularly the vertical. i.e. - I want there to be more white space between the rows. When I select Format cells, sometimes the text tab is there to be able to change those margins, but many, many times, it's not. Is there something with the formatting which changes whether the text tab will come up? Or is there another setting which turns this on?

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.

Should have thought of this earlier: You can do it with a macro.

Rich (BB code):
Sub AutoFitAndAddSevenPoints()
  Dim R As Range
  Selection.EntireRow.AutoFit
  For Each R In Selection.EntireRow.Rows
    R.RowHeight = R.RowHeight + 7
  Next
End Sub
