I'm modifying a document originally created by someone else within the company. It contains a table with text at 12pt Arial in each cell, but the row height is quite small i.e. the rows are quite close together.



I need to add a couple of rows on to the end of the table. I do this in the usual way and they appear OK, but the height is larger then the rest of the table and I can't see which setting is different. I could get them to match by setting the height for the new rows to 'exactly' rather than 'at least' but this is cheating! The existing rows are set to 'at least' so what is different?

I've checked the row settings, table settings, paragraph settings and font settings and they're all the same.

Why do they look different?

See attachment. The last two rows were the ones added by me (the appendices).

Thanks for your time

( Removed original inaccurate comment.)

I think your problem had to do with the text style used in the additional rows that you added. I fixed as attached for reference by deleting the two rows that you added then, inserted two rows using the "Layout" tab. I then used the same text style in previous rows.

Hope this helps...

Thank you. This did work eventually. On the brief document I posted, the 'space after' on the last two rows was set to 12pt, and when I reset it to 0pt, everything was fine.

Bizarrely, however, on the original, much longer document, the 'space after' was already at 0pt so that didn't work. However, by using the styles drop-down I managed to pick a style which was used on the other cells, and that did work.

So it's solved, but I'm still not sure how!
