You can drag the borders of the cells. The cell property needs to be set to
wrap (this should be the default setting) and you can lock the width from
table autofit fixed column width.

Hi there. I have placed the form fields in tables and I still have
the problem of the text not wrapping. Is there a way to set my table
width? (That might be a sillly question, but I'm just beginning to
learn all of the ins and outs of Word!)

Thanks,
Anne

I'm creating a form (or trying to at least) and want people to put
in paragraph answers - and I want to text to wrap so that it stays
within the margins. When I leave the size unlimited, it just goes
in a straight line and if I try to limit the characters, you can't
type in a paragraph. Can anyone help? Can I even do this?

Thanks,
Anne
