I created the following table, but I am running into a mysterious
problem. When I include the text 'Geometry Calulations' in row 2, the
table row expands as if this text takes up lines of text. However the
text fits well within the cell length, and the text itself remains on
one line. If I delete 'Geometry Calculations', the height of row 2 is
the height of one line of text. How do I fix this? I have included
snapshots of what I am getting with and without 'Geometry
Calculations' included. Any help or insight is appreciated.

can you make an example without your own macros like \DocID, \OrigDisc etc. ?

What happens when you change the height of the rows, e.g. “height=1.5\lineheight”.

\bTR \bTD[nc=2,style=bold,align={flushleft,lohi}] \hbox{~Document
Title} \eTD \bTD[nc=4,align=middle] Geometry Calculations \eTD \eTR
seems to fix the things.

Spannded row/columns in natural tables can be problematic when context determines the height and width of the cells.
You can try to use xtables which are similar to natural tables.

Thankyou luigi. The suggestion provided below worked. I wish I understood
why context thought that a cell height to two rows were needed, but the
combination of \hbox and alignment of lohi is a reasonable workaround.
