Default Baselines of fonts at the same height

Also, if it's a case of having several lines of text in each adjacent cell,
you can set the paragraph line spacing to an exact amount that will
accommodate the largest font size.

Select the cells, Table Properties, Cell tab, Options button, ensure that
Bottom Vertical alignment is selected, then click the Options button, in
the
Bottom margin box there should be a value, if it is blank then one of the
cells has a different value from the other(s). Correct this and all should
be
well.
Hope this helps

Two adjacent cells contain text of different sizes. In Word 2003 and
2007, is there a way to vertically place the texts so that the
baselines of the fonts will be at exactly the same height?
