I'm working with Word templates which contain nested tables of mail-merged fields. I need the row height of one of the child tables to have a minimum height but be able to expand (height only not width) to accommodate the contents from the mail-merged data

Anyone know how to achieve this?

Using Word 2003, the principle is the same in newer versions, but placement within the UI may vary.

Select the row in question. Right-click and select Table Properties.

From here move to the Row tab, and enter a value in Specify Height.

Finally, ensure the Row Height Is set to At least and not Exactly.

Here's a screenshot of the Table Properties window showing the options in question:

  • Works a treat, even if I do feel dumb for not spotting that dropdown option earlier ;-)
