MS Office Forum / Word / Tables / May 2008Limit Characters
Hey All, I am going to try and explain this the best I can... I have a table and I basically need to limit the amount of text tha can be put into each cell. The total number will vary for each cell an space and returns will count towards the total. Any info would b great. Thanks, Jfun -- jfunk > Hey All, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > space and returns will count towards the total. Any info would be > great. If you are not using proportional fonts (like Courrier) you cannot realistically limit input based on the number of characters, which is anyway difficult to achieve. The usual approach is to limit input based on row height. In the table properties dialog, select the Row tab and set Row height at "Exactly" a value. > If you are not using proportional fonts (like Courrier) you cannot Ooops, I meant non-proportional... Otherwise known as monospaced.  SignatureSuzanne S.

The cell just needs to have a limit so that it does not automatically get bigger when you get to the bottom of it... Signaturejfunk In that case, just set the row height to an Exact amount.
