i want to limit maximum number of text without resizing
How do I do this in Word 2007? I am creating a form to fill out and want to
set the description field to a maximum limit of text characters. I created 4 rows to type into. What I've tried so far: Table Properties - Options... - (uncheck) Automatically resize to fit contents Table Properties - (under Row tab) - Size: Specify height - Row height is: "Exactly" (under Row tab) - Options - (uncheck) Allow row to break across pages Those are the setting I changed, but even before that, I cannot achieve the effect I'd like of my table. It's very frustrating, I know theres a way to do it, I'm just not experienced at this. I did find the table cells at a fixed size, but the text keeps typing, only partially visible. Please help. |

The only way to do that is with formfields or content controls with input limits set at a certain number of characters. To make sure that the number of character reflects the available space, you have to use a set-width font, like Courrier. |
