I don't know anything (much) about Word 2007, but AFAIK, there's no way to
set that option off by default for the Insert | Table command, nor can it be
defined in a table style. If you use an AutoText entry to insert a table,
then you can control it. But all of these issues would affect new documents,
not existing ones. If "Automatically resize" is enabled in your forms, I'm
surprised you didn't have trouble with them in Word 2003 as well.

Hi, and thanks, Suzanne -
Is there a way to set the table options so we don't have to address this
on
each form we open?

I created a form in Word 2003 using tables. Now that we've updated to
2007,
when we open some of the completed forms and edit a cell, the adjacent
cell
is compressed, EVEN THOUGH the cell we're working in has sufficient
space
for
the text we're typing.
I have literally thousands of these completed forms - so training
operators
to change settings in each one will be problematic. Is there a default
that
needs to be changed?
Many thanks!
