Default How can text wrap in field box when its longer than column width?

I have created a form in Word and have various columns with text fields. How
do I have text wrap when it is wider than the column width? At this point,
it is pushing the columns lines out and off the page if it is longer.

Hi ?B?QW5nZWxHQm90dG9tbGluZQ==?=,

I have created a form in Word and have various columns with text fields. How
do I have text wrap when it is wider than the column width? At this point,
it is pushing the columns lines out and off the page if it is longer.

You can set the columns of a Word table to an "exact" width. Assuming this is
Word 2002 or 2003:

click in the table.

Table/Table properties/Table. Click options.

Deactivate "Automatically resize to fit contents"
