WD98: Table Row Height Set To At Least After Vertical Merge (180997)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q180997 SYMPTOMS
When you vertically merge two or more table cells, the Height Of Row
property changes to an At Least setting. This means that if you set the
Height Of Row property to Auto or Exactly, and then vertically merge the
cells, you will lose the Auto or Exactly settings.
CAUSE
The Height Of Row property is reset to the At Least setting after a
vertical merge in order to accommodate all of the text from the merged
cells.
RESOLUTION
After you merge the table cells, reset the row height. To do this, follow
these steps:
- With the insertion point in the merged cell, click Cell Height and
Width on the Table menu.
- Click the Row tab.
- In the Height Of Row list, select the setting you want.
- (Optional.) In the At box, select the value and type a new
measurement or click the arrows to select a new value.
- Click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
