Hi, i have a table with 3 columns and one row. on cell has a number, next is copy, and next and icon.

as you can see below. I have situations in which the copy runs two lines. how can i set the height of my table that starts with the number 18 to match my cell with the number 17, i have table styles and cell styles set up. i just don't know how do i set a cell height. Thanks

Cell width and height are not included as part of cell styles, Jonathan. You can define cell insets and could use the type size and top/bottom insets to control the height.

Define your number block cell style to include top and bottom offsets to force the box to the same height as the one with two line copy. That should work.

Messing with the top and bottom offsets did work. Thank you very much.

The only way I know of to add cell size to the styles is with this plugin: https://www.woodwing.com/en/smart-styles-adobe-indesign-plugin

Hi Jonathan,

to gain more control over styling, especially styling tables, look into Woodwing's Smart Styles plugin:
