Sometimes Word doesn't respond to small changes (this can be seen in
the Tabs dialog box, too). Try to do the change in two steps: First
set a very different value, and then specify the one you actually
want. Alternatively, try using the Cell Height and Width dialog box
instead of the Table Properties dialog. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/TablePropPrbs.htm.

I find that trying to change row heights in Table Properties works
sometimes,
and most times it doesn't work. I'm a long-time user of Word and do
very
precise table work, but it really stresses me out that you get what
you want
just "sometimes." Does anyone have a foolproof way of changing row
heights (I
work in points, not inches)?
