LaTeX sizes the height of a row in table based on the height and depth
of the font used, irrespectively of the fact that you have letters with
ascenders or descenders. So the space above a T is the same as the space
below a p such that in case of TTL the space below is indeed larger.
However, you can control height and depth through a parameter. Indeed,
LaTeX multiplies height and depth of a row in a table by \arraystretch.
Now, given that the height is generally bigger than the depth, for a
sufficiently high value of \arraystretch you will get a larger space
above than below.
I think that if you put in the preamble the following line:
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
you will get what you want. In case you want a finer control, you could
try using the following in the preamble:
\newbox\mystrutbox
\setbox\mystrutbox\hbox{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Keep in mind that LaTeX uses .7 instead of .85 above, and that if you
follow this second path, you will lose the ability to control the height
of a table row through the \arraystretch parameter.

Re: table settings and setting border does all or nothing
another option that i've used for adding custom white space is to
create a new command in the preamble using \rule. this is an
extension of the suggestion by Enrico and you can fine tune the extra
space as needed.
\newcommand\T{\rule{0pt}{2.6ex}}
\newcommand\B{\rule[-1.2ex]{0pt}{0pt}}
add these commands to the preamble and then insert ERT into a row
that you want extra white space above \T or below \B the letters.
note that you'll need to add a space after the \T or \B otherwise
latex will think that you have a undefined command.

Is this in the GUI or when you generate a DVI or PDF? (The GUI
gives
only an approximate representation of what the final document
will look
like.) If you're talking about the end product, do any of the
letters
have descenders? What looks like a big gap below might not look
so big
with a descender taking root in it.
In the generated output. Not all the rows have a descender (a
"g"). Every
row has the characters jammed up to the top. All the rows appear
to be the
same height. And even the bottom of the "g" doesn't touch the
bottom of
the row (the border), but the tops of letters like "TTL" and "Fl"
touch
the top of row (top border). Looks bad. I can provide PDF.
LaTeX sizes the height of a row in table based on the height and depth
of the font used, irrespectively of the fact that you have letters
with
ascenders or descenders. So the space above a "T" is the same as
the space
below a "p" such that in case of "TTL" the space below is indeed
larger.
However, you can control height and depth through a parameter. Indeed,
LaTeX multiplies height and depth of a row in a table by
\arraystretch.
Now, given that the height is generally bigger than the depth, for a
sufficiently high value of \arraystretch you will get a larger space
above than below.
I think that if you put in the preamble the following line:
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
you will get what you want. In case you want a finer control, you
could
try using the following in the preamble:
\newbox\mystrutbox
\setbox\mystrutbox\hbox{%
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\fi}
Keep in mind that LaTeX uses .7 instead of .85 above, and that if you
follow this second path, you will lose the ability to control the
height
of a table row through the \arraystretch parameter.

table settings and setting border does all or nothing
On first row, using the Table Settings dialog (in lyx 1.5.2), the top border selection is for entire row. I can't get it to work for a single cell. Anyone else have that problem? Jeremy C. Reed
