Wouldn't manually removing the padding-top="2pt" and
padding-bottom="2pt" apply to all rows - then I'd have to set
row-height for every row?
I get no error messages when setting negative row-heights.
When I set row-height="0cm" (without removing any padding) I get a
different result from -3cm - see attached file and compare the second
row up from the bottom (0cm) with the fourth row up (-3cm). The -3cm
is narrower, and the 0cm same as the default value. Surely some
negative row-height is being deducted from the default?
