Row height in template in Word 2000

[Hans L]

I have a Word 2000 template. I cannot now remember how I set the various
parameters, but I can figure it out. I have one issue: I would like to set
the row height higher than the default value. Is that possible and how would
I do it?

Regards,

Hans L

Select the whole table (or specific rows). Click Table > Table Properties
and go to the Row tab of the dialog. Check the box and enter the desired
minimum height.

Jay, thanks. However, when I open a document based on my template, and I
create a table, I would like the row height to be a value of my choice (a
value that I have specified in the template). Same way that I have specified
for this template that hte font should be Arial 10 p.

Hope it makes sense.

Hi Hans,

I don't believe that's possible. If I recall correctly, Word 2000 doesn't
have a "table style" feature; however, even in Word 2003 or 2007 where that
feature is available, the row height is not one of the elements you can set
as part of a table style.

The best you can do is to create a table with the desired formatting and a
minimal number of rows, and store that table as a formatted AutoText or
AutoCorrect entry. Give the entry a name you can easily remember. Whenever
you want a new table, instead of using the Table menu, insert the entry as
the starting point for the table in the document.

If I recall correctly, Word 2000 doesn't

have a "table style" feature;

Just to confirm, the most you can do in Word 2000 is select a default Table
AutoFormat.

Sorry for being so darn late to thank you, Suzanne, and, again, you, Jay. I
went the autotext route, and it works nicely.
