Thank you. It's what I needed.

Several things to try:

1. On the Table tab of Table Properties, click Options... and clear the
check box for "Automatically resize to fit contents."

2. On the same tab, set the table width to 100% (though this won't stop it
from growing if you increase the size of one column). Choose "None" for the
wrapping; you don't want Around, which makes the table "float," with text
wrapped around it; it doesn't have anything to do with text wrapping in it.

3. Make sure that "Wrap text" is checked in the Cell Options (Table
Properties | Cell | Options...).

I created a table with 3 columns and many rows. When I type in the cell
the
right margin of the table goes off to the right and off the screen. How
can I
set the wrapping so it doesn't go off the page? I tried TableTable
PropertiesTableAround and it does nothing.
Thank you in advance for your help.
