Changing row properties

The ribbon command Table | Properties dropdown_arrow | Row opens a dialog box in which you can change the formatting of the rows in a table.

Before choosing this command, select the rows whose format is to be changed. If you do not select any rows, the changes will be applied only to the row in which the text cursor is positioned.

The dialog box for this command provides the following options:

Height

Here, you can change the height of the table row. The following options are available:

Auto

This is the default setting. If it is selected, Presentations determines the optimum height for the rows automatically (by adjusting it to the actual space requirement of the cell contents).

Exact

If you select this option, you can specify the desired row height exactly in inches. However, the row will then always assume this height, even if it is not enough to fully display the contents of the cells.

At least

This option represents a combination of the two options above. If you enter "1 in" here, for example, the height of the rows will be set to exactly 1 inch, provided that this height is sufficient for the contents of the cells. If you enter more text in a cell than can be accommodated within 1 inch, however, Presentations will automatically increase the row height.
