I have copied the attached table from a website but I can't figure out why the row height can't be reduced. I even set the cell margin to 0 for both four sides. But still no improvement.

Sample Word File Here

Any help will be appreciated showing the cause and solution of this problem.

Thanks

I've had a look at your file.

It seems your table is corrupted, although I set "Same as the whole table" in "table properties" / "cell" / "options" it doesn't get saved.

I could fix it by converting the table to text ("table tools" / "layout" / "convert to text") then converting it to table ("insert" / "table" / "convert text to table")

Sometimes it's not possible to reduce the height of a row or rows because of the font size set within the rows. Setting the font size to a really low value will often resolve this, even if there is no text in the row or cells affected.

Sometimes it's easier just to recreate the table. You can set the shell up and then copy the contents over. Doing so apparently doesn't bring over the corruption.
