Default How do I stop text from spilling over a locked cell in a table

You will have to design the form using table cells with fixed dimensions;
that way, you get control over the layout.

a table cell with fixed dimensions. On the other hand, I believe most
people
would stop typing when they realize that the text disappears from view.

I have created a table that is being used as a makeshift form.
I have set the table height to be exactly 1" and the width to 100%.
However, I want the cell so that if you keep typing to the end of the
cell,
that the text doesn't spill over. Right now it does, even though you
cannot
see it I know it's there cause i can see the curser below.
Please let me know what setting I need to put on so that it stops input
when
you get to the bottom edge of the cell.
