How Can I Define the Width of a Column Spacer and the Height of a Row Spacer?

[AA Smith]

The Subject states the question rather well. I just created a Layout Table.
Then I clicked on the Show Layout Tool, then clicked on the Size down-arrow
to the left of Col. 1 and clicked on the Use Column Spacer option. However
no obvious spacer appears in either Design or Preview view.

What am I doing wrong, and how do I control the width of a column spacer or
height of a row spacer?

To absolutely set the (minimum) width height of a column/row, either use CSS
or use transparent GIF images with the desired width/height. For example,
this cell (and row) -

<tr>
<td><img src="spacer.gif" width="20" height="150"></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

will be exactly 150px tall. The cell will be 20px wide.
