You can fix the row height and column width of table cells to an
exact size, which will stop the table from growing when enter is
being pressed.
If you set the row height to an exact figure (not 'at least') then
provided you have set an exact row height that will only accommodate
the text you want to allow, pressing enter will not cause the table
row height to change.

I find that I have one more issue with my form. Even though I
protect the document my text fields allow the user to press the
Enter key. This inserts one or more paragraph marks and it
increases the row height with each press of the Enter key. I
specified row height exactly, and tried selecting 'fit text' in the
cell options. But with a simple press of the Enter key the user can
completely distort my form appearance. I have about 75 text fields.
Is there a way that Word 2003 can control row height in my
protected document?

Thank you,
I've tried that but there was a complication...
Some of the rows have cells that are split in two forming two half-
height cells, one above the other. I've found that I have to select
'Exact' row height on any row near the row containing form fields, not
just the row that contains the fields. Now it works correctly.
Thanks
