changing row height in tables

[Erin T.]

Hi! I have never had this problem before, but in preparing this most recent
newsletter for my organization, I can't seem to get away from it. I set up a
table to use as a calendar of events, and I have to have the rows as tight
around the text as they can be to make the calendar fit on the page. I've
never had trouble adjusting the row heights, but this time when I pull up the
bottom border of a row to make it smaller, it makes the other rows larger and
completely defeats the purpose. I have it set to "Snap to Guidelines," but
when I snap the bottom of the table to the guideline at the bottom of the
page, it resets itself to be much larger than that, and it's leaving a bunch
of extra space at the bottom of each cell. It is driving me insane. Does
anyone know why it is doing this?

Tables are not Publisher's best selling point.

I'd suggest laying your table out to suit in Word first, then insert it into
Publisher.

When you resize the bottom row are you using the selection handles or are you
letting the cursor change and resizing that way? Are you formatting the cells to
center the text?

Tables in Publisher can be touchy.
