I've unprotected the table, found the auto-resize tickbox but it was
arready off. If I re-protect the table, I can still type into any "text
input" cell, add as many line returns as I like and the cell just keeps
growing. This can ruin the whole layout. Can it be stopped?

From the Tables menu, select Table Properties, then on the Tables tab of the
dialog, click on the Options button and you will see it.

Hi,
Your input is useful to me. However, I could not locate the option "turn
off
auto
resizing". Will you able to help?
In fact the problem i recetly posted is "how to disable changes in column
width".
I will be thankful for reply.

I want to create a table then freeze the size of the cell and the

formatting

of it and then be able to type in the cells. When they are full it
should
stop taking input.
