When it is time to format a table, you may find that your overall table depth (height) is set the way you want it, but the rows within the table are not "just right." For instance, you may want the rows to be the same height as each other without disturbing the overall height of the table.
Simply follow these directions:
Word changes the row heights of the selected rows to reflect your selection. You'll want to play with this tool a bit to make sure it does exactly what you want. The reason is because row height can be affected by the characteristics of the data within your table. For instance, if one (or more) cells in a row are formatted using a large font, that can affect how Word sets the row height.

Dr. Sam Ebenezer
Sir,
I have a query on MS Word. Actually it is not related to this. The matter is: I have Word documents having more than 1000 pages (sometimes it may be 2000) each having 54 lines. (Page setup letter, portrait, Courier New font with 10.5 size) What i would like to know is to add 2 blank lines at the 52nd line in each page. (Margin 1" each in top and bottom) Unfortunately my Boss does not allow me to alter bottom margin. He insists on putting two blank lines (at 52nd line) in each page. See how tedious it is!. Hope you would definitely help me with some shortcults.
I remain,
Dr. Sam Ebenezer
