I am trying to set the height of a table - I can seem to set the WIDTH
in the TableProperties under the TABLE TAB, but it doesn't have the
height? I know that I can set it with the RESIZING tool in the bottom
right hand corner of the TABLE, but I want to be able to set it with
exact numbers. Any ideas?

As you've discovered a table doesn't have a hight property. Its height is
determined by the number of rows, the height of those rows plus any cell
spacing added to it.

If you can paint a more vivid picture of what your objective is perhaps
someone could offer alternatives.

There is no setting for the height of the entire table. There is a setting
for the height of each individual row -- or for all rows at once, if they're
all selected when you enter the dialog -- in Table Table Properties Row.

Ok, that seems entirely crazy to do it that way, but I guess if that
is the case, then so be it. I am using a book on learning Word and it
says 'set the table height to 3 inches', well, I can do it roughly,
but I wanted to set it exactly and wondered why they would only allow
WIDTH exact settings and not the height. Was it just something they
overlooked?

What sort of learning-Word book would ask you to do something that
can't be done -- set the height of a table -- and to do it in units
not usually used for a table (whose height is usually measured in
points)?
