Hi noelr,

Sorry, but that's not how Word tables are designed to work.

Instead, consider reducing the number of rows and increasing the height of the remaining ones, then setting the heights to 'exactly' that size. Alternatively, you might consider simply merging the cells in the middle column after typing, to eliminate any unwanted increase in cell heights.
