When I execute this progammatically, I get a table with row heights much larger than when I do this manually.
Note : Sel is the Word.Selection object and the Clipboard contains an Excel Table.
public void AddClipboard()
{
Sel.PasteExcelTable(false,false, false);
var t = Sel.Tables[Sel.Tables.Count];
t.AutoFitBehavior(Word.WdAutoFitBehavior.wdAutoFitContent);
}
