Is there a way to exactly set the row height and column width in Publisher
2003? For instance, I want all the rows to be .25 inches high or 16 points
high -- can I set this?

No...
You could create ruler guides. Right-click a ruler guide, click format ruler
guides. You then can adjust your table rows by snapping to the guides.

This is a year-old thread, but I found it whilst searching for an answer to this very question. So, in case it helps someone...

Yes, you can - through VBA.

ActiveDocument.Pages(i).Shapes(j).Table.Rows(k).Height=newValue

I haven't worked out what the units are yet, but I will keep tweaking newValue until it looks right

If you only have the table selected, then you can use:

ThisDocument.Selection.ShapeRange(1).Table

instead - removes the need for trial and error to find the right Shape
object.

The default units are points - same as font size, (1/72)". However, you
can specify units by using e.g.:

[object].Height = "3 cm"
