Modifying column width or row height

• It is easy to reduce or increase row heights.  You can also make columns wider or narrower.  You can use 'drag and drop' techniques using the mouse or you can set exact heights or widths using the Table Properties dialog box.
  

• Using the mouse to adjust column width or row height.
  Move the mouse pointer within the table until it is over the vertical edge of one of the columns.  The shape of the mouse pointer changes to a shape made up of two small vertical lines with arrows pointing out horizontally.  When the mouse pointer changes, depress the mouse button and move the mouse to the left or right as required.  When you release the mouse button the width of the column will be altered.
  
  You can use the same technique to adjust the row height, but this time move the mouse pointer to the horizontal edge of any row, and then drag and drop the edge as required.
  
  Experiment with adjusting row heights and columns widths using this method.
  

• Adjusting column width or row height using exact measurements.
  Select the row (or rows) that you wish to change the height of. Right click over the selected row(s) and from the popup menu displayed select the Table Properties command.  This will display the Table Properties dialog box.  Select the Row tab within this dialog box, as illustrated.
  
  
  
  Click on the Specify height check box.  Use the Up or Down controls to set the exact row height and then in the 'Row height is' section, select 'Exactly'.
  
  
  
  NOTE: You can use the Previous Row and Next Row button to set each row in the table to a different height as required.  When you have finished click on the OK button to close the dialog box.
  
  
  
  You can set exact column widths using the same method, but you need to select the Column tab within the dialog box.  You can use the Previous Column and Next Column buttons to adjust each column width within the table.
