Re: [libreoffice-users] Row height in Writer tables

Greetings,
I do this to get my tables the way I want them to be.

1) Normally, table content has the style "Table Contents" assigned to
it. Edit that style (View > Styles, then right click on Table Contents
and select Modify... in the style list) and make sure the spacing
before and after the paragraph are zero and the the line spacing is
single (on the Indents & Spacing tab). If they are not zero and the
spacing is not single, you will not get the results you are hoping for.
2) Create your table; make sure the assigned style is indeed Table
Contents. Set it to that otherwise (select the table, apply the style).
Set the vertical alignment to Middle to center the text in the row if
the font size is small - this is purely cosmetic.
3) Go to the Table Properties, and set the up and down border paddings
to zero. I sually leave the Left/Right to whatever value they have.
4) Select the table and set the row heigth to 0,22 inches (72 points
per inch), or 0.56cm. Make sure when you set the height that you
uncheck the Fit to size box

This should work.
Best regards,
Rémy.
