As far as I know, the resize option must be turned off for each
individual table. :-(

I have just realised that in Word 2003 tables, as you type text in a
cell the
cell automatically resizes to fit the text rather than word wraps as
you
would expect. This was not the default behaviour in any previous
version of
Word, and is very annoying as I most often use tables for forms! I
know you
can go into Table Properties to turn it off but can it be turned off
premanently?

Thanks
