I suspect you can do this with a macro, but I don't know how. If you don't
get a reply here, you may want to ask in a programming newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.word.vba.general.
Note, however, that if you can use a protected form instead, you wouldn't
have this problem, because users cannot create tables at all; all they can
do is input text into the text form fields. For more on forms, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...nTheBlanks.htm.

OK fair enough, if that is the case, is there a way to prevent another row
being formed when tab is clicked?

a table cell with fixed dimensions. On the other hand, I believe most
people
would stop typing when they realize that the text disappears from view.

I have created a table that is being used as a makeshift form.
I have set the table height to be exactly 1" and the width to 100%.
However, I want the cell so that if you keep typing to the end of the
cell,
that the text doesn't spill over. Right now it does, even though you
cannot
see it I know it's there cause i can see the curser below.
Please let me know what setting I need to put on so that it stops input
when
you get to the bottom edge of the cell.
