SUMMARY
An inserted table in a Word for Windows document bases its row height on the line spacing values specified in the Paragraph dialog box. (To access this dialog box choose Paragraph from the Format menu). By default, Word uses those values found under the current Normal style. To change this option follow these steps:


 * 1) Select the table.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph and set the values under Spacing to the desired height.

Note: The paragraph line spacing option does not affect the value of the Minimum Row Height option in the Table dialog box (accessed by choosing Table from the Format menu). Paragraph line spacing affects the spacing between lines and the height of the table row.

MORE INFORMATION
In Word version 6.0 for Windows the spacing of a table can be set from the Table menu by selecting Cell Height & Width and setting the measurement.

In Word for Windows version 2.0, you access the option to change the Minimum Row Height by choosing Row Height from the Table menu.
