Default Consistent Spacing between wrap-arounds and cells

Hi ?B?ZXJuaWV3eWxlc0Bob3RtYWlsLmNvbQ==?=,

Assuming we're discussing Word 2002 or 2003: Table/Table
Properties/Table/Options lets you set the space between the cell borders and
the text. You can't set it to less than 0, but you can increase it so that it
occupies and entire line...

Alternately, you could try decreasing the line height for the text IN the
table.

Here's the problem that I have and I haven't been able to get anything even
from our experts locally.

I make many documents using the pleaded paper format (they are legal
documents). The problem is that I have to keep the spacing correct. When
creating a document with a table in it, the spacing within the cells can be
managed. However, when going from one row to the next it is just slightly
more than the spacing of the pleading.

At first, this offset is barely noticable, but if you work in a table and
suddenly have a page full of rows, the spacing discrepency is very obvious.

My spacing between pleaded numbers is Exactly 22.75 pts.

Now, here are my parameters for the solution.
1) I can't use macros of any kind;

2) My tables are not absolute in length. Although I do have defined colums
(width & wrap-around), the number of rows varies depending on the amount of
information that is needed.

3) PLEASE HELP!!! This problem has been plagueing me for over three
years!!!!
