I have created tables and would like to put Text Form Fields into th
cells. The cell sizes are not all the same. I would like the Text For
Field in the cell stay inside the boundaries of the tables cell.
tested it by locking the table and then typing in the Text Form Fiel
and as I type more, it expands the table cell to the right instead o
going down to what would be the next line in within that cell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Cha

When you create the table, go to Table Properties and click Options... on
the Table tab. Clear the check box for "Automatically resize to fit
contents." You may also want to set a specific column width.

Thanks Suzzane, that did work so that it does not expand to the left
The table will still expand down, but there is probably nothing tha
can be done about that.
Thanks,

Set the Row Height (Table Properties) to an EXACT measurement.
