Descenders
In Word 2007, If I make a table and decrease the row height, my descenders
get cut off. In Word 2000 this did not happen. Is there a solution? |

Use a smaller font.

That will happen if the row height is set to Exactly and isn't tall enough
for the font you are using. To see this in action, select the text in the row that's being cut off, then press Ctrl+[ to decrease the font size one point at a time. At some point, the descenders will be visible. If you press Ctrl+] to increase the font size, at some point, the descenders will begin to be cut off, and eventually, the upper parts of letters will be cut off. The bottom line is that if you use a fixed row height, then the maximum size of the font you can use is limited. If this wasn't happening in Word 2003, then I suspect that you were using different settings in Word 2003. It certainly happens in Word 2003 here. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Pyper" wrote in message ...

It's Word 2000 that I'm migrating from. I tried going to the Word Options
dialog in 2007 and changing the "Lay out this document as if created in" setting to Microsoft Office Word 2000, but that didn't make it work the way it used to. So then I went into the Layout Options list and toggled anything that looked like it might make a difference, but it didn't. Am I stuck?

I figured out what's going on. It's in the fonts. The old fonts I had been using on the other computer had a higher baseline. |
