Relationship between row height & cell margins
In Word (2007), I created a 3x3 table. I set the table properties to:
table width = 6", default cell margins = 0 row height = 2", exactly column width = 2" cell width = 2", cell margins same as table Printing with borders I get a 3 x 3 that is exactly 6" wide and 6" deep and the text completely fills each cell right up to the border. Next I change the default cell margins to 0.25". All other properties unchanged. The table properties are now set to: table width = 6", default cell margins = 0.25 row height = 2", exactly column width = 2" cell width = 2", cell margins same as table Printing with borders I get a 3 x 3 that is exactly 6" wide and but 6.75" deep. The text is about .25" from all 4 borders. It appears that Word reduced the text area by 0.25" on all 4 sides, but it also increased row height by 0.25" to 2.25" even though the properties still say that it is 2". What is the algorithm here? Why is each row 0.25" deeper? I would think that it would either remain the same, like the column widths do, or increase by 0.50", since I increased both the top and bottom cell margins. |
