Just specify a fixed height for the table rows: On the Table menu,
click Table Properties. Click the Row tab. Check "Specify height",
type the desired value, and then choose "Exactly" for "Row height is".

The setting applies to any row(s) selected when you opened the dialog
box. (Note that you can use the Next Row/Previous Row buttons to move
between rows.)

If you want to be able to re-use a table with this (or some other)
formatting, select it and create an AutoText entry from it.

BTW, Stefan:

Is there any way to make rectangular cells (the default shape of a
new
table) into square cells?

Ah!
Dragging cannot be used for the entire table.
So that explains it.
Thanks, Stefan.

When dragging, only the size of the selected column or cell(s)
is
affected; there is no way around that.

The only way to preserve the relative widths of columns is to
set
a
percentage width for the entire table (as explained in the
article).
To make the table fit between margins, set the table width to
100%; if
you want it smaller, use a value smaller than 100%.

How can I increase or decrease the size of cells all in sync?
(Make the whole table proportionately larger or smaller?)

I went to the MVP page:

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfm...ableToPage.htm
and followed these instructions:

In Word 2000 you can select Table + Properties, click on the
"preferred
width" checkbox; where it says "Measure in", change it to
"percent",
and in
the width spinbox, type 100%. The relative column widths are
preserved in
the resized table.

But dragging the last cell to the right still only changes the
size
of that
particular column of cells.
