: ID CS6: Can I set an exact height for a cell style? I am working in a table. I am creating cell styles for various kinds of cells. I want to create what is essentially a spacer cell (unless

In the Table Panel (or control bar with a table highlighted) you can set the cell height to "Exactly" and insert the value you want.



But... you're right.. you can't save this particular aspect to a cell or table style.

To use a style you might try this....


Create a paragraph style which sets the type size to match your desired cell height. For example, 6pt type for a 6pt tall cell.

Create a new Cell Style and set it to use the paragraph style you just created.

Set the Cell Insets in the Cell Style Options to zero.



That should allow you to select a row (or cell) and apply the cell style to get a spacer which matches the height of your predefined Paragraph Style.

Another option would be to simply create a Cell Style with a larger Top Inset to move the cell items down. Basically a taller cell style to create the appearance of a spacer, without actually having a spacer row. This tends to fail if you want to alternate fills or strokes though.
