Make sure you have the cell selected, but even so, Word can be very stubborn
about this. If you can't succeed by dragging the column markers on the ruler
or the cell boundaries in the table, you may have better luck in the Table
Properties dialog; failing that, you can reinstate the old Cell Height and
Width dialog and try that.

I need to resize cells, not whole columns, and I can't figure out how!
I've
tried Office Assistant and I keep getting how to change the cell margin,
but
it's not changing the actuall size of the cell. Am I doing something
wrong,
or it is something completely different?
