Example

As it applies to the Frame object.

This example sets both the height and width of the first frame in the active document to exactly 1 inch.

If ActiveDocument.Frames.Count >= 1 Then
    With ActiveDocument.Frames(1)
        .HeightRule = wdFrameExact
        .Height = InchesToPoints(1)
        .WidthRule = wdFrameExact
        .Width = InchesToPoints(1)
    End With
End If

As it applies to the Row object.

This example creates a 3x3 table in a new document and then sets a minimum row height of 24 points for the second row.

Set newDoc = Documents.Add
Set myTable = newDoc.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, _
    NumRows:=3, NumColumns:=3)
With myTable.Rows(2)
    .Height = 24
    .HeightRule = wdRowHeightAtLeast
End With

As it applies to the Rows object.

This example sets the height rule for the selected rows to automatically adjust to the tallest cell in the row.

If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then
    Selection.Rows.HeightRule = wdRowHeightAuto
Else
    MsgBox "The insertion point is not in a table."
End If
