Maintaining cell size after merge

[Nancy]

I have Word 2003. I have set up a table to merge with a data program. All
works well except for a few cells that add an extra line - putting the text
on the next line after the merge. I took off auto resize, auto fit and made
them fixed column width and it is still happening. Any suggestions?

Word will, I think, try to fit the text into the column. Maybe you need to
fix the /row height/ of the table cell, as well as everything else you are
already doing.

(Sorry, I did not test this here)

I did that too and it is still happening! Help!

It works OK here. Try...

....in your Mail Merge Main document,
a. select the table row containing your merge fields
b. select Table->Table Properties->Row->Specify Height
c. ensure that you specify "Exactly" in the "exact/ measuement in the "Row
Height Is" drop down.
