I was trying to create an electronic form using Word2003 and a template. I
created fill in blocks using a table. Everything seems to work well except
blocks where the user can enter more than one line of text. When entering
the text a line feed carriage return does not occur when the text "hits" the
right end margin (or right end of the table). Instead the characters appear
to "push" the table out and the characters run out of view.

I know I'm doing something wrong. If not is there an easy way to cause a
line feed carriage return when the text hits the right end of the table?

Under Table, Table Properties, Options un-click the automatically resize to
fit contents
