--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
Actually I believe there is already with a simple work flow...

1.) Define your table, rows & columns. By default will be within current page
margins. 

2.) Zoom out to expose full page on screen. 

3.) place focus on the table, and grab the bottom line of the new empty (or an
existing) table. 

4.) Drag bottom edge of table down to the height required. Just the bottom row
of the table will increase in height.

5.) Select the full table.

6.) Use the Table -> Size -> 'Optimal Row Height' menu action, also on the
Table toolbar's Optimize Size split button, to distribute the table rows into
the new table height.

Should be apparent that you can perform this on a blank page to size table to
margins. Also that to revert and start over, simply select the table and apply
'Minimize Row Height'.

@Justin, what do you think? Would it be possible to have a action to set Table
size to page margins?

And it seems odd that none of the Row or table Height attributes are available
via the 'Table Properties...' dialog. Would a tab for Rows, like Columns make
sense?
