Hi Karen,

Yes, it is possible to automatically shrink text to fit within a fixed-size table cell, text box or frame in Word 2003. Here's how you can do it:

1. First, insert a table, text box or frame into your document and adjust its size to the desired dimensions.
2. Next, select the text inside the container that you want to shrink.
3. Go to the "Format" menu and select "Font".
4. In the Font dialog box, check the box next to "Shrink text on overflow".
5. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

Now, if the text you enter exceeds the size of the container, it will automatically shrink to fit within the available space.
