MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / March 2008Table size vertically
I know how to size a table so that it takes up the full size of the width of the margins by setting the table width to 100%. How would I make the same hold true for the size between the Top and Bottom margins? I see how to make them break across the margins...but I want to make the table stick to the size of the page in ALL directions. Dave French You cannot set a percentage height for table rows. Instead, you will have to set a fixed height for the rows, so that they fill the page (in the Table Properties dialog box, click the Row tab, and enable the "Specify height" option). If you add rows, you will then have to resize the them.

This is what I'm aiming to do is create a template, outline, skeleton...whatever you want to call it and have the users fill-in the different boxes with their information so every time a page is created it will look like every other one.

Indeed, it is recommended to make use of table cells with fixed dimensions when laying out a form. But note that it will be easier to use multiple tables rather than a single one for the whole form. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/LinesInForms.htm, which focuses on "drawing a line" but it also has links to articles by Dian D. Chapman describing how to create a protected form in Word. FWIW, I'm not familiar with the term "Host Table" (maybe someone else is?). SignatureStefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP > OK... > So is that what is considered a Host Table?
