Cells not displaying all of cells text by default

[Nat]

We have Word 07. Someone sent me a word doc (compatibility mode) that had a
table with 6 columns in it. When the user inserts a new column to the right
and types in text, it shows on the bottom half of the text. If I click
show/hide to see formatting nothing obvious shows up. If I double click in
the right side of the cell, it seems to fix this issue, but what is causing
this in the 1st place? I would rather format the column correctly than force
the user to double click in every cell.

Thanks in advance,

Let me further clarify. If I look at show/hide formatting It shows mini
paragrah symbols. If I go to Paragraph & indents and spacings it is set up
as exactly 6 pts., however the rest of the cell is set up as single spacing.
Is there any way I can modify these two properties at the column level as
opposed to having to modify this cell by cell?

Hope this makes sense to you.

Select the column, and any modifications you make will affect all the
selected cells/paragraphs.

I can't really tell what your problem is, but have you checked the
options to allow the rows to vary in height according to contents, and
the paragraphs to Single rather than Exactly space?
