Aligning table items

I am trying to make space above and below the text in the cells in a table. The first lines align across, but no matter what I do I can't get more space below the last lines. I've added space below in the cell options, clicked on vertical alignment in the cell options, but nothing happens. Why does it do this? How can I change it? Is it because of the original Word formatting?

It looks like you have all of the text in the table snapped to the baseline grid. You will need to select the text and take it off of the grid. If you are using styles it's under Paragraph Style Options > Indents and Spacing.
