i have created a form using a custom table and the form is saved as a
template. when i enter text in the body of the form (a table cell) the form
expands the cell as you type text or hit return and expands the cell. i
tried unchecking the auto resize to fix contents check box under table
properties but this does not work. i just want the cell locked in its
current size and not change when entering text.

You must also set an Exact row height and Preferred column width (and select
Fixed Column Width under Table | AutoFit).
