SYMPTOMS
========

You cannot use your mouse to change the height of the last row in a table when
all of the following are true:

- You are in online layout view.

  -and-

- Using your mouse, you have resized the bottom border table row indicator to
  the bottom of the online layout page.

  -and-

- You have resized one of the other rows enough to force the bottom row to a
  second page.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design. When you are in online layout view, the page size is
set to be the height of the window. If the table row at the bottom of the page
does not fit onto the first page, it is moved to the second page.

NOTE: You cannot see the table row that breaks to the second page in online
layout view.

WORKAROUND
==========

Method 1: Change the Row Height of a Particular Row in Online View
------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Place the insertion point in the row that you want to change.

2. On the Table menu, click Select Row.

3. On the Table menu, click Cell Height and Width.

4. On the Row tab, change the "Height of row <n>" and At to the settings
  that you want, and then click OK.

Method 2: Change the View to Page Layout
----------------------------------------

On the View menu, click Page Layout. After you do this, you should be able to use
your mouse to adjust the table rows.
