Description Stephen 2019-10-23 14:21:51 UTC
Description:
Row height is an essential dimension of tables produced as a graphic. The tools I found were quirky and didn't achieve what I wanted. Would like to have a tab in the table properties dialog, and have the ability to set different heights per row. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Build a table
2.Enter table properties dialog
3.look for "Rows"
4.It isn't there! I can't set the heights of rows. 

Actual Results:
this is not technically a bug. I selected "suggest an enhancement" and got here. 

Expected Results:
Rows height can be specified. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Distribute Rows Equally
Adjusts the height of the selected rows to match the height of the tallest row in the selection.

To access this command... 
Choose Table - Size - Distribute Rows Equally 
Open Optimize Size toolbar from Table Bar, click


Distribute Rows Equally

Stephen, just put cursor in a cell and open context menu => Size => Row Height. So this is at least a workaround. 

cc: Design-Team for proposal of a Row-Tab in Table Properties

Personally I think users would expect a row tab if there is a column tab, but it's not so important.
