Example

This example creates a table and then sets a fixed row height of 0.5 inch (36 points) for the first row.

Set newDoc = Documents.Add
Set aTable = newDoc.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=3, _
    NumColumns:=3)
aTable.Rows(1).SetHeight RowHeight:=InchesToPoints(0.5), _
    HeightRule:=wdRowHeightExactly

This example sets the row height of the selected cells to at least 18 points.

    Selection.Cells.SetHeight RowHeight:=18, HeightRule:=wdRowHeightAtLeast
Else
    MsgBox "The insertion point is not in a table."
End If
