Row Height Mysteries (Word 2003)
Hi,
I have been tasked with 'cleaning up' a document with several tables of figures (accounts). 'Underlining' of some of the figures (e.g. at the end of a column) has been acheived by placing a row beneath the figures and using a series of 'm' dashes (I presume this has been done to keep the 'underlining' the same width regardless of the number above - hence normal underlining is not appropriate, but thinner than the width of the cell - hence a border is not appropriate). The rows on which this 'underlining' appears are made very thin so there is not a large gap between the 'underlining' and the number above. I have created a style for the 'underlining' to ensure consistency. As the document has 'been around the block' a few times and the users are very concerned about 'corrupt' formatting (strange formatting anomolies that have crept into the document over the years making the document behave strangely). I tidied it up, setting styles for all the kinds of text it includes and ensuring all text is in one of the styles with no additional formatting applied. I also decided to try saving as xml, then back to a doc in the hope this might clear out any remaining anomolies. After doing this, the row heights of the tables changed - the rows where there is just the 'underlining' increased in height and I cannot get them to reduce to their previous size without the 'text' (series of 'm' dashes) becoming invisible (sitting too low in the cell to be seen). I have compared to a previous version of the same document and formatting of the style is identical and the settings for the table/row all appear to be identical - however, in the 'old' version the text sits much higher in the cell and the row can therefore be much thinner (which is the way they are supposed to be). Can anyone explain (or hazard a guess) as to what the process of saving to xml and back again has changed in the table settings and how I can get them back as desired?
