Default Keep Column widths the same

I have a need to create a table in word that has a text box in it. I need
that text box to have unlimited number of characters. I also need the column
width to stay the same. Should a person type and hit the end of the column,
I want the text to drop to the next line and the row height changes, not the
column width. Can anybody help me with this. I have Word 2000. thanks

Click in the table. Then select Table Table Properties Table tab
Options and turn off "Automatically resize to fit contents". Click OK twice.

In Word 2003, this can also be carried out by selecting Table Autofit
Fixed Column Width. I don't remember whether this is possible in Word 2000.
