Table Formatting
MS Word 2003. I am using tables to set up a form. In the fields of some of
the tables I inserted a Text Form Field (from the Forms toolbar), so users can input certain information. I locked the form. However, when users enter too much information the table expands vertically, subsquently pushing the data to another page. How can I stop this. I set the vertical height of the table to an "exact" height, but it continues to move vertically with the input of text. |

Table Formatting
You must set the row height to an exact amount and disable auto resizing.

As well as fixing the table row heights to an exact measurement, you should
set the Text Form Fields for a limited number of characters. Once you have set the Row height, enter a Form Field and fill it with 8888s or BBBBs until it is full counting the characters as you go. When it has reached the maximum size for the table cell, you know the character limit to set the FF. Right-click the FF and set up the limits. Do that for each FF as required. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "T. Adams" wrote in message ... MS Word 2003. I am using tables to set up a form.
