How can I have a permanent row size that doesn't resize with text
I'm trying to use a table, but I don't want the table to resize with text and
as I hit enter. I'm inserting text, but when I get to the bottom, it resize and throws off the rest of the document and tables. I am wondering if it can be used like an Excel cell, with a permanent size and automatic shrinking of the text to fit. I would use excel, but Excel doesn't allow me the function I need for my lesson planning (hyperlinking certain text, tabbing, etc.) |

In any version of Word, you can set an exact row height, and in Word 2000
and above, in the Cell Options (Table Properties | Cell | Options), you can choose "Fit text" instead of "Wrap text." -- Suzanne S.

Another thing to check, for columns that seem to resize automatically....
using Word 2002/3, select the table, and choose Table - AutoFit - Fixed Column Width. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.
