Row Height Adjustment
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. |

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. -- Suzanne S.

Row Height Adjustment
It is possible that I am remembering incorrectly, but I am quite sure I was
able to do this....now I have to find someone who still has 2003 so I can test this out :P. |

I have Word 2003, and I tested it, but you don't have to take my word for
it. g -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Kyle" wrote in message ...

Row Height Adjustment
I have reinstalled 2003, and you are entirely correct. I must've been
remembering the width adjustment, not the height. That is rather a pain... Thanks for the answer! |

Row Height Adjustment
You can merge two or more cells that are placed below each other. Or you can
split a cell into tow or more rows. Maybe that is what you have done previously. The Split Cells and Merge Cells commands are normally available from the pop-up menu that appears when you right-click in a table (two or more cells must be selected for the Merge Cells command to be available). -- Regards Lene Fredborg - Microsoft MVP (Word) DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Kyle" wrote: I have reinstalled 2003, and you are entirely correct.

Row Height Adjustment
As I mentioned before, and as Lene spells out, you can achieve the desired
effect by creatively merging and splitting cells. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Kyle" wrote in message ...
