Locking Exact Row Height
I am working with a 13-page table that has (in the past) only been printed
out and filled-in by hand. I have been tasked with re-formatting the document so that the row height for each cell is locked in 'exactly' as it currently is, such that digitally type-written versions of the form will take up the same space as the hand-written form. In other words, each page needs to have its cells locked at their current height so they'll be equivalent to the version that is hand-written. This is so that hand-written and type-written versions of the document will have the same questions on the same page, and will thus be easy to read interchangably--some students will continue filling them in by hand, while others will begin doing them digitally. So, here's the question: Is there a quick way to lock the row height of each cell, instead of figuring out the height and then setting it as 'exactly' for every single cell? I should note that the cells are of varying heights, so you can imagine that doing this for a 13-page table would be awful. Furthermore, I may be given similar tasks with other documents in the future. So, finding a quicker way to do this would be of great assistance. Help! Thanks, Allen Rosenthal, University of Utah |

Locking Exact Row Height
Hi =?Utf-8?B?QWxsZW4gUm9zZW50aGFs?=,
Is there a quick way to lock the row height of each cell, instead of figuring out the height and then setting it as 'exactly' for every single cell? IF you've used the mouse to drag a table cell height, then Word should have immediate access to that information. So if you then go into Table/Table Properties/Row, the measurement should be visible and editable. All you'd then need to do is change "At least" to "Exactly". Then you can click the "Next row" button and do the same for the next rows, without ever having to exit the dialog box. A problem only crops up when a row has been left at the default height. But all rows like this will have the same height, so once you've calculated that, you can enter the same amount for all of them.
