Use the Rows property page to add and delete rows and to specify alignment, height, and other options for each row in a Layout Grid or Table object.
The following options are available.
Rows
The Rows pane lists the rows as they appear from top to bottom in the object. When you select a row in the Rows pane, its properties are displayed in the Row Properties pane.
The rows toolbar is located at the bottom of the Rows pane and includes the following controls:
Adds a new row at the bottom of the object.
Inserts a new row above the currently selected row that has the same property settings as the currently selected row.
Inserts a new row below the currently selected row that has the same property settings as the currently selected row and the same objects that the currently selected row contains.
Deletes the selected row.
|
When you delete a row, the objects in that row are also deleted.
|
Moves the selected row up one position.
Moves the selected row down one position.
|
When you move a row, the objects in that row are also moved.

Row Properties
The Row Properties pane lists the properties for the row that is selected in the Rows pane. The properties that are available depend on whether you are configuring rows for a layout grid object or for a table object.
Layout
-
Height Mode: Specifies how the height of the row is determined.
-
Auto: Specifies that the minimum height of the row is first calculated based on the size of the content of each cell and the minimum height of the row. If the sum of all row heights is less than the minimum height of the overall layout grid object, then space is added to all of the "auto height" rows until the overall minimum object height is met. The space is divided between the rows so that the row heights are proportional to each other, according to the specified weights.
-
Fixed: Specifies that the row height is set to the value that is specified by the Height property. If the cell content is too large, it is clipped. If the row height is larger than the objects that are contained in the row, cell content in the row is aligned by using the Vertical Alignment property.
-
Weight: Specifies the relative proportion of vertical space that should be allocated to this row during excess space distribution, within a range of 1-1000. A row that has a lower weight takes up less vertical space than a row that has a higher weight. Available when Height Mode is set to Auto.
-
Minimum Height: Specifies the minimum required size of the row. Available when Height Mode is set to Auto.
-
Maximum Height: Specifies the maximum height for the row. Available when Height Mode is set to Auto.
-
Height: Specifies the height of the row. Available when Height Mode is set to Fixed.
-
Vertical Alignment: Specifies the vertical alignment of cells in the row.
-
Show if Empty: Specifies whether the row is visible on the printed item when all cells in the row are empty, such as might happen when objects in the row are not printed due to their own print conditions. Row suppression occurs only at print time.

Table Data
Table Data options are available for rows in a table object when the Table Data setting is set to Arranged in Rows on the Table Data property page. Otherwise, the Table Data options are not available in the Row Properties pane, and the default content type is Data.
