I am trying to make the cell width smaller than 19 pixels wide, but it will
not let me. I have tried cell properties, but it keeps resetting itself to 19
pixels. I am using frontpage 2003.

Insert a transparent GIF image into the cell (make sure that there are no
other cells in the same row that have content taller, however. Make the GIF
whatever height you need.

I have cells that are 23 pixels high, and I need cells that are 8 pixels
high in the same row. If I try to insert a clear gif, will the cell conform
to the gif size? Is there any way to reset the tool? It seems like that there
is a minumin height set that will not let it go below 19 pixels. If so, is
there any way to change the height requirement?

If the cells that are 23px tall have content that is driving them to be 23px
tall, then you will not be able to size any other cells in the same row to
be shorter than 23px. The solution would be to merge the cells that you
want to be shorter, and nest a new table within that merged group, and have
the nested table's cells forced to the desired height.

19 px is the height of an unstyled &nbsp; character. That character is
automatically placed into all cells of a newly created table to prevent the
browser from seeing them as empty cells (which will not render with borders
or background colors). What you are seeing is the effect of those
non-breaking spaces. When you insert an image, the &nbsp; is automatically
replaced by the image. This will allow you to "shim" the cell to any
dimension by adjusting the width and height of the transparent GIF image as
needed.
