Trying to create my own resume template, how can i create tables t
i'm trying to create a template in with tables so i can control the look and
spacing and then just fill in the rest. the thing i cannot figure out is how to do this and then set a cell in that table to a size and have the text within resize itself to fit within it( slightly smaller text if theres more, larger if less BUT the same size cell) any help would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks Stephen |

There isn't any automatic way to do that.
Use Table AutoFit Fixed Column Width for at least the column containing the cell. Then use Table Table Properties Row, check the box for Specify Height, set the height you want, and change the right-hand dropdown to Exactly. The size of the cell is now fixed, at least with respect to adding text (you can still drag the cell borders or return to the dialog to resize it). If you type more text than will fit, it'll disappear under the bottom of the cell. Then you can click near the left edge of the cell to select the whole cell, and change the font size on the toolbar until it all fits. I'll add, though, that a table filled with random sizes of text doesn't look professional. If you're trying to meet some arbitrary restriction on the number of pages, you'd do better to edit the text to remove unnecessary words or use shorter phrases.
