2. In the Properties > R CODE box, inside the flipFormat::CreateCustomTable() function, add a line for the row.height argument (note you can change 12px to a different px size based on the font size in your table). For example:
   
   

   mytable = table.Q1a.Spontaneous.Awareness.Spontaneous.Awareness.mention
   
   flipFormat::CreateCustomTable(mytable,
                                   row.height="12px")
