The row height is defined in three places:
•typographically
•by cells vertical margins (inset spacing)
•by the Remove top leading setting.
To scale all rows by changing cells margins, right-click anywhere in the table, and then select Edit Table. Under Rows section, click Margins and Fill. Ensure that under Apply to, all check boxes are selected. Specify the margins in Top and Bottom box and then click OK.
It is not possible to use dragging to change the rows height.

Note
The first row may appear shorter that others in tables, created from the table dialog box. In such case, add >ta LD< as the first tag, before all other table structure tags.
