With the problem text selected, choose Paragraph on the Format menu.
Click the Indents and Spacing tab. Look at the setting for "Line
Spacing". If it is set to "Exactly" or "Multiple", change it to
"Single" instead. Does this solve your problem?

Some rows in a particular table have a problem with all their cells.
The
vertical space available for entering text will not expand above
about 1/8"
despite any changes I make in (a) row height, (b) interior cell
margins, (c)
font size, (d) 'expand to fit contents' feature and (e) text
alignment within
cells, either vertical or horizontal. I don't know whether the
following has
anything to do with the problem:- the table in question has been
converted
from WordPerfect 8 format. The existing rows of cells converted
without this
problem, but all the new rows I've inserted do have the problem,
whether I
insert using the Tables drop-down menu or insert by clicking in the
bottom
right hand cell of the table. I haven't had this problem with tables
created
from scratch in Word, so -- is this something that can be attributed
to the
table's WordPerfect origin? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
