Thanks, that's informative, but it doesn't answer my questions.

How can I change row heights without changing the size of the table?

What makes column lines 'break?'

I'm trying to modify an Avery template for a sheet of mailing labels. I
want to split the cells and put our company logo/return address in the top
cells and pre-print them. But I would like to make the top cells smaller,
but I can't seem to do this without moving all the cells below, thereby
defeating the purpose of the template.

thanks.

Help me understand this behavior:

If I click and drag on a column line, it doesn't change anything else in
the
table. It just moves the line.

If I click on a row line, it moves the rest of the table up or down
along
with the line.

How can I make the row lines behave the like the column lines? I don't
want
the rest of the table to move. I just want to move the line.

Second question: sometimes when I click and move a column line, it
'breaks'
and I end up with different size cells. What causes this?

Thanks
