    Setting table row heights to minimum

    Hi John, and readers

    I've spent hours trying different code, and using the VBA editor in PPT, but to no avail.

    Basically I have a tool that formats a table to white with grey divider lines, however, I want to drop in code that sets all rows to the minimum height. Code I've ended up with is:

    Dim minW As Single
    With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).table
    For icol = 1 To .Columns.Count
    For irow = 1 To .Rows.Count
    With .Cell(irow, icol).Shape.TextFrame
    End With
    Next
    .Rows(irow).Height = 0
    Next
    End With

    Also tried:

    Dim otbl As Table
    Dim lRow As Long
    Dim lCol As Long
    Dim oSh As Shape
    If oSh.HasTable Then
    Set otbl = oSh.table
    For lRow = 1 To otbl.Rows.Count
    For lCol = 1 To otbl.Columns.Count
    oSh.Height = 0
    Next
    Next
    End If

    And

    Set Shp = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
    iHeight = Shp.Height
    iWidth = Shp.Width
    Shp.Height = 0.001 * 72 * lHeight / lWidth
    End If
    I think this is about the tenth code I've edited a hundred times
    I didn't repeat the Dim as I have them in the table, and saved repeating here.

    Thank you!

    Hi John

    I don't believe this! I figured it out, after 3 days' guessing! (I'm quite determined as I've learnt more thanks to you.)
    I just solved in within two minutes! It's a great feeling!! This was my code, and I added the second line:

    Set otbl = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1).table
    otbl.Parent.Height = 0

    I should have used Parent and not keeping looking at Row.
    Have a great week
