Default Problem with editing cells

What else can I try??

Hi Teri,

Word is a bit "sloppy" in that both cell properties (like cell padding) and
paragraph properties (like "space before/after") have an influence.
Have you looked at the paragraph properties?

I try to keep all text in tables in the "Normal" paragraph style, which does
not have any spave before or after (in Word 2003 at least -- it does by
default in Word 2007, where that space is initially overridden by manual
formatting, but can reappear ... a pretty messy design).

Regards,
Klaus

I am fairly new to working with tables, so I may be missing some basics:

I am trying to edit a table created in Word (by someone else no longer
here,
so I can't ask her). I am trying to clean up the document by adjusting
text
alignment (it looked sloppy). In some cells, when I change the vertical
text
alignment, it changes only slightly. I have checked cell properties; I
have
unchecked the "Specify row height", I have made sure there aren't any hard
returns, etc. What else can I try?? I even tried inserting a new table and
starting from scratch, but it is doing the same thing. Help!
