Table row height & text alignment
I have been having trouble with the position of text in tables in a report.
Normally if I want to change the height of the row in a table, I can simply drag and drop the table lines, or select table format/row height and specify the height, and the text inside will centralise itself to the new sized cell/row.
For some reason in this document if I change the row height the text stays in the same position and becomes obscured, and nothing I seem to do makes any difference. I have tried changing the cell alignment, and also the vertical alignment, but it doesn’t make any difference.
Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks!
RE: table row height & text alignment
Hello Tannith,
Thank you for your question regarding working with Word tables and adjusting row height and text alignment.
I have created and modified hundreds of tables in the past and have never experienced any of the issues you are having. I have worked with all of the versions up to 2010 and am unable to replicate what you are describing.
For me to help you with this I would need to have a copy of the file containing the table. You do not need to send me the entire file, so copy the table and paste into a new document and send it to me at:
rl@stl-training.co.uk
Before sending the document, please check that the pasted table is doing the same as before.
I await your reply
Have a great day.

RE: table row height & text alignment
Hello Tannith,
Thanks for sending me the file containing the table. The text in each cell was formatted with spacing of 10pt before and 10pt after as well as multiple line spacing at 1.15 lines.
I removed this formatting and you will be able to decrease the row heights if you want.
This sort of thing often happens when text is formatted first and then converted into a table or copied from somewhere else and pasted into a table. If you copy and paste text into a table you do have the smart tag which gives you the option to choose 'destination formatting'.
I have attached the file for your attention.
I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.
If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?
Have a great day.
