Thank you both!

If you mean that the bottoms of the cells expand downward as you type,
that's the way they normally behave. To change that, open the Table
Properties dialog again, go to the Row tab, check the box for "Specify
height", enter the measurement you want, and change "At least" to
"Exactly".

If you type more than fits in the cell, though, the extra will simply
not appear. You would have to reduce the font size to make the text
fit the cell rather than vice versa.

That's what I've tried. The checkbox is cleared, but it still expands every
time I type in the box.

I have made a lesson plan template in a table format. When I type plans in
each week, I do not want the table cells to change size as I type. How do I
lock them?

Thanks for any help.
