Table Properties for table inserted into Word document
To save table dimensions, including row height and table width, you can create an AutoText entry which you base on a "sample table" in a document.
For example, you can have a sample table with unspecified row heights, table width set to 100% (or a fixed value, if you prefer that). Select it and create your AutoText. To reuse the format, insert the AutoText. (Remember that the AutoText stores content as well, meaning that you get a specific number of rows and columns, but you can add or remove those as desired after you have inserted the AutoText.)
P.S. Word supports table styles, but note that those won't let you save dimensions as part of the style.

That will not work because the table inserted are linked to a database via another application addin. The rows and columns are dependent on what type of data are being extracted. If some columns and rows are missing due to preset number of rows/columns, it will only cause confusion to the users who are inserting the tables.
