As many as you want.
You can constrain the cell size but the contents can go on beyond what is visible. If you have a Form Field inside your table cell (or anywhere else) you can limit the number of characters which can be typed into it. -- Enjoy, Tony "mfreecox" wrote in message ... |

Hi Tony,
at least here and now, a document consisting of nothing but a 1 row 1 column table spanning 160 pages wasn't a problem. ;-) -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

that's great. maybe I should re-phrase question to - how many
words/characters are visible in a table cell within Word? "Tony Jollans" wrote: As many as you want. You can constrain the cell size but the contents can go on beyond what is visible.

Hi,
¦lol¦ for a 1-cell-table full of "m", spanning 160 pages, activedocument.characters.count results in "not responding" Maybe I should have waited till tomorrow. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

The answer is essentially the same - as many as you want. You define the
size of the table cell. Rather foolishly perhaps I did what Helmut did - created a one row one column table, typed in =rand(200,99) and got 225 pages - character count took perhaps a minute or more but came back at 910603. Theoretical maximum is I suppose around the theoretical maximum document size of 32Mb. -- Enjoy, Tony "mfreecox" wrote in message ... that's great. maybe I should re-phrase question to - how many words/characters are visible in a table cell within Word?

You're asking the wrong question. The literal answer you've had already from
others: 'as many as you want'. But as you will find (and as Helmut as found) you run into formatting problems long before you hit technical limits. If you have a table cell with more content than fits on one page, then either you shouldn't be using a table or you shouldn't be using Word. What are you actually trying to do?
