    Move separation line between rows/columns without moving everything

    I'm currently editing my CV in google sheets and I find myself manually shrinking and widening rows all the time to fit the different sections I'm creating. What would make the process a lot easier is a way to move the lines between rows or columns without it making the rest move. In other words, I want to be able to widen a row so that it makes the next row smaller by the same amount and thus keeping the rest of the document the same. Is there a way of doing that?

    My first question would be why you are editing a CV in Google Sheets instead of Google Docs. A spreadsheet program is not a good text editor/layout tool.

    Re: Move separation line between rows/columns without moving everything

    I barely know how to use word properly so I cannot do all the formatting to make it look the way I want there. I know it can be done, just not worth learning it when I can get the same results easily in excel.
    Also, if what I'm looking for can be done, it will be useful to me for more than this current document. I mentioned the CV only because it's what I'm working on right now.

    It's google sheets. I just used the words "excel" and "word" out of habit. Sorry for the confusion.

    NO, there is no way to do that in either Google Sheets OR Google Docs.
