Removing custom row heights

I wasn't suggesting a table by table approach, but a search and replace
approach of the kind Shmuel describes. Framemaker could do the search and
replace, but Notepad++ is a lot more efficient.
Notepad++ seems to work using search and replace as follows (for all
tables). You could restrict it to the particular table setting you want
removed if you'd like.
Use the regular expression option.
Set Find to <RowMinHeight *.*">
Set Replace to <RowMinHeight 0">
If you cut & paste a <RowMinHeight x.xxx"> line from the mif, you'll get the
right space and tick marks.
Here's a JPG showing the options selected in Notepad++. Do a Find Next to
make sure you are getting what you want and then do a replace all. Retain a
copy of your original file.
Note that you can do the replace on a whole series of open documents.

Yes, but this could take a long time if you have a lot of tables with a lot
of rows.
However, if you do the search and replace using a text editor that supports
regular expressions (Notepad++, etc.) this could be a good solution. The
regular expression to search for would be "RowMinHeight [0-9]*.[0-9]*"
(without the quotes) and replace with RowMinHeight 0.

I set the row heights to zero, which I believe is the default. FrameMaker
seems to take things over from there using the current paragraph tag to set
the height to the minimum without obscuring text.
If all your custom settings are the same (for example: "1.56789") you can do
a simple search and replace in the mif.
Replace:
<RowMinHeight 1.56789">
with
<RowMinHeight 0">
It looks to me like you could reset all tables by just removing the
<RowMinHeight x.xxxxx> line from the mif. That would require a more
sophisticated find value that used wildcards (or regexp)
Try this on a copy of a file and see if that works for you.

Almost all our tables have custom row heights - ugh! Does anyone know of a
way to global reset the row heights to the defaults? I can't find anything
in FrameMaker so I'm wondering if there's an add-on for it.
FrameMaker 10, Windows 7 Professional
Thanks!
