Row height not measured correctly.

[paulmarkj]

In my Word tables, the 'given' row height never seems to match the rea
height. For example, I have a table that says the row height = 2.6 c
but it is really 8.8 cm.

In fact, I can reduce the height to 0 cm, but it really has a height o
several cm.

This seems to happen a lot, is there any reason for it?

I am using word 2010 in windows 7. I get the row height from tabl
tools->layou

Hi,

[Word 2010]

In my Word tables, the 'given' row height never seems
to match the real height. For example, I have a table
that says the row height = 2.6 cm but it is really 8.8 cm.

open the Table Properties and choose row height of "exactly" 2.6 cm
instead of "at least". Otherwise the row will fit to content.
