What is an effect of adjusting row height manually in a Microsoft Word table?

Adjusting row height manually in a Microsoft Word table primarily impacts all rows uniformly in that if you set a specific height for rows, each row will conform to that height unless individually adjusted later. When you change the height of one row, it does not automatically adjust the heights of other rows unless you apply the same settings across them. Thus, if you manually increase or decrease the height, that change is uniform for that particular row but does not cascade to all other rows unless they are altered together.

This approach allows for consistent formatting in tables, enabling users to create visually organized data presentations. It’s also important to note that if the text within a cell requires more space than the set row height provides, it may lead to text being cut off rather than overlapping, which is distinct from the concept of overlapping text within a single cell.
