I am trying to insert a text box exactly the same size as a table but
don't know how to find out the height of the table?

I think the best you can do is format each row of the table to have an
exact height, sum these heights, and then set the height of the text
box equal to that sum. Note that the widths of the border lines around
the table and the text box may be relevant, too.

Click to expand...

Select the table

Insert a frame, using the button on the Forms toolbar

Right-click on the border of the new frame, and select Format Frame

In the dialog box, change the height and width selectors from Auto to
Exactly, and the size will appear in the boxes to the right

Write down the answer, remove the frame, and insert your text box

Nice trick, but text editing could resize the table, and then you
would
have to repeat the procedure.
