Default Row Height Adjustment

I think you must be remembering wrong. This is not possible in Word 2003,
either. You can adjust cell widths in a row individually, and you can
achieve varying cell heights by selectively merging and splitting, but you
can't adust the height of a cell independently from the row.

This may be a simple question, but I have recently switched from Office
2003
to Office 2007 and am having some trouble with tables. I have a simple
table
with two columns, and would like to adjust the height of each individual
cell
(as opposed to the entire row). This would, of course, cause the cells to
be
staggered, not arranged in straight rows.

In Word 2003 I was able to do this by highlighting the desired cell, then
simply dragging the bottom border. If the cell was selected, the drag
would
affect only that cell border, not the whole row. When I try this in Word
2007 it continually adjusts the entire row height, maintaining the
alignment
of the row.

Hopefully this makes some sense...any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
