Default Fixing Table Size

You can set an exact row height for that row (Table Properties | Row).
Disable auto resizing (horizontal only) at Table Properties | Table |
Options.

Just wrote an earlier post about creating forms. I created a table and I

am
not sure how to disable auto fit or auto size. I merged to one cell - I

want
the cell 7 inches wide and 1.5 in. deep. So I set that. But if I tab or

keep
typing the cell keeps getting bigger pushing onto the next page which is

what
I don't want. I am missing a step somewhere in anchoring the table. The
table is just for a text response so that an applicant can write a brief
reponse paragraph, but I want to limit how far they can go.
