I found the problem (by looking in another thread): the vertical alignment
(under Page Setup, Layout tab) had been set to 'Justify' by the original
creator.
Setting the alignment back to Top solved the problem

After changing the font type and size (new is smaller), the height of the
rows does not adjust to the new font.
The table properties show that the row height is not 'at least' nor
'exactly', resize is checked. As to the paragraph settings, 'Spacing
before/after' is set at 0 and the 'line spacing' is set at Single.
When I adjust the font size up, the row still does not change which implies
that there is some sort of 'fixed height' present.
Additionally, with all borders on, the vertical bars appear not to touch the
next row down.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
