Word 2003 - adjusting row heiht
I have text in a table (a number of bullet points in each cell). The table
row height is much greater than the column with the most text (if you know what I mean), ie there is too much white space at the botton of each of those cells. I have selected these (adjoining) cells in a row and tried everything to reduce the row height. I have tried Autofit, I have tried going to properties and even putting the specified height at 0! It makes no difference. Even changing Exactly to At Least doesn't make a differece. Here's the thing ... I can actually increase the row height using the properties, but cannot reduce it. Any suggesions would be most welcome! Thanks! |

Word 2003 - adjusting row heiht
A bullet style allows the user to set spacing before and after the bullet
(paragraph). I beleive that your bullet style is placing 12 or more points after the bullet text (paragarph). The row height cannot override this setting. The bottom margin associated with the row height begins after paragraph spacings. If you have placed a hard return after the bullet then the spacing will be very big. Select the bulleted paragraph. Select the format menu, paragraph, on the indents and spacing tab, in the spacing section, set/re-set the before/after spacing. Caution since the bullets are created by a style, the original spacing can re-assert itself. -- Tom Conrad "Trish" wrote: I have text in a table (a number of bullet points in each cell).
