Using the Measurement Selector to Resize Columns and Rows

You can specify the exact height used by a row, or width used by a column, using the cell size measurement selectors. You can use the setting to apply the new measurement to a single row or column, or multi-select rows or columns to quickly apply uniform sizing to a table. Measurement units used by the selectors are based on the unit type in the User Option's General tab.

The Layout tab is available in the command ribbon when you click inside any cell in a table.
