What you want to do is to change the "space before" for that cell.
In the "format paragraph" dialog specify a space before that reflects
the number of lines in the largest cell in the row. If you have left
the line spacing on "auto" the line spacing is a little
bit more than the font size, a font size of 12 points is given a
line spacing of 14 points when Word is set to auto line spacing.
(I usually change the line spacing to an appropriate absolute number
rather than leaving it on auto just in order to really know what
numbers I'm dealing with). Thus, if your largest cell in the row
has four lines, you would set the space before in a single line
cell at 21 points. The line spacing for the line itself is already
14, then add 14 before to get it lined up with the second line and
add 7 to get it lined up between the second and third line; a total
of 21 points before. If you want to line up with a largest cell in
row that has an odd number of lines, you wouldn't add the half line
spacing, of course.

The only method I've found is to adjust the 'space before' and 'space
after' paragraph formats (i.e., double-click to the left of the table
to select the entire row, then apply the format). Nice as tables are,
they would be even nicer if they were treated as 'objects' in their
own right (and so could have styles, etc.).

Several posters in comp.sys.mac have referred to the capability of 
MS Word 4.0 to print postscript files inside of a Word document, but I
have been unable to get this to work.

I am trying to get a postscript graphic into a Word document. The graphic
comes from a non-Mac machine (Matlab graph on a Sun 3/50), and the 
ps file produced included the following comment:

% To make this file into an Adobe Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
% file, remove the 'initgraphics', 'erasepage', and 'copypage' commands.

My question is, do I want EPS, or do I want to leave it as 'pure' postscript?
And could someone please tell me how the heck I put this into my Word
document? I don't know much about postscript, and I find the manual for 
MS Word to be fairly cryptic in its explanation... :-)

Thanks in advance, all.

cut and paste the EPSF document into the Word document.  select the EPSF part
and type in the Style name =PostScript= [no '=' and capital 'S'!].  the style
will be set to something like 10pt, bold, hidden [the hidden part shouldn't
be changed, but i believe you can change the font type].

this works back to MS Word 3.01.
