You may also need to specify fixed column widths to get more control
over your table. In the Table properties dialog box, you can set a
"Preferred width" on the Column tab. Also, you may want to click the
Options button on the Table tab and clear the check mark next to
"Automatically resize to fit contents".

Select the entire table. On the Table menu, click Table Properties.
Click the Cell tab. Click the Options button. Make sure "Wrap text"
is
checked, and click OK.

I'm trying to set up a form in Word, using tables. When the user
fills in
the first blank on the form, the text might be two words, or it
might be 20
words. I want to be able to set this up so that when the user
reaches the
end of the line (and cell), the user's input wraps to the next
row.

like so...

This is the name of some company: ___________________
______________________________________________
______________________________________________

The form will sometimes be printed and filled out, and other times
it will
be filled out onscreen. For this reason, we want the underlines
to
show.

How to I tell Word, "when the user types in all the characters
that
will fit
on the first line, wrap to the next and keep on going?

TIA
