Ho do I set an ENTIRE table height?
I am trying to set the height of a table - I can seem to set the WIDTH
in the TableProperties under the TABLE TAB, but it doesn't have the height? I know that I can set it with the RESIZING tool in the bottom right hand corner of the TABLE, but I want to be able to set it with exact numbers. Any ideas? Word 2003 |

Ho do I set an ENTIRE table height?
As you've discovered a table doesn't have a hight property. Its height is
determined by the number of rows, the height of those rows plus any cell spacing added to it. If you can paint a more vivid picture of what your objective is perhaps someone could offer alternatives. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac wrote in message ...

Word 2003 There is no setting for the height of the entire table. There is a setting for the height of each individual row -- or for all rows at once, if they're all selected when you enter the dialog -- in Table Table Properties Row. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

I am using a book on learning Word and it says 'set the table height to 3 inches', well, I can do it roughly, but I wanted to set it exactly and wondered why they would only allow WIDTH exact settings and not the height.

What sort of learning-Word book would ask you to do something that
can't be done -- set the height of a table -- and to do it in units not usually used for a table (whose height is usually measured in points)?
