i know you can make the rows "exactly" a certain heighth, but is there anyway
to "lock" the columns in a table so they don't move?
Specifically what I'm trying to do is create a word template where only text
can be entered into tables that are then merged with Quark Express, thus the
word template must match the quark express template. any suggestions
appreciated.

Hi =?Utf-8?B?UmVuZWU=?=,

This could only be done in Word by inserting form fields, then protecting the
document as a form. In Word 2003 you'd have the additional option of selecting
certain ranges and enabling only those for editing.
