Default Wrapping text in form fields...

Select the table rows that should break instead of moving to the next page.
Then select Table Properties Row tab and turn on €śAllow row to break
across pages€ť (note that €śTable Properties€ť can most often also be opened via
the pop-up menu when you right-click in a table).

In case of Word 2007: You can open the Table Properties dialog box via the
first group on the contextual Table tab that appears when the selection is in
a table.

I have created a form (performance eval) with several connected cells. When
someone fills a cell with type the whole cell that takes more than the page
space left, the cell will roll to the next page and keeping the following
cells moving forward. This creates a lot of "dead space". Also when a cell
is filled on a single page with type, the type just starts to disappear.

How do you wrap text so the cell just expands to the next page without
moving the entire cell?
