I have a table that has 4 rows. My top row is a header,
2nd row has checkboxes, my 3rd row is where a user will
write comments, and my 4th row has footer information
(company address etc..) What I'm attempting to create is a
memo were the user will type up comments in the 3rd row,
but what happens is when the user starts typing my 4th
comes off the page and I end up with a broken table. Is
there a way around this or am I not using the correct
method for a memo document?

Hi Marvin,

Is the table currently reaching from the top to the bottom
margin? If yes, did you press ENTER to "stretch" the rows so
that it would do so?

If that is the case, you need to delete those paragraph marks
(select the cell, the press DEL should do it). Then go into
Table/Properties/Row and set an EXACT row height. Now the
user can type as much in the "Comments" row as he wishes, the
total height of the table will not change.
