I just started using Word 2007. I have a document that was probably created in Word 2003 that contains tables. The tables contain empty rows that serve to create space between certain rows. If "show all" is engaged (with table gridlines showing), I can see these rows. If it is not, the rows close up. If I place my cursor in a row, the row expands, but once I move my cursor, it closes up again. I checked all the table properties - no set row heights, all fonts in the table are the same size, all paragraph spacing is the same (0 before/after, single spaced). There are no styles in the table either. How do I keep the rows from closing up (without having to set an exact row height)?

Have you checked to see whether the text in the rows is formatted as Hidden?
