i have created a form using a custom table and the form is saved as a
template. when i enter text in the body of the form (a table cell) the
form
expands the cell as you type text or hit return and expands the cell. i
tried unchecking the auto resize to fix contents check box under table
properties but this does not work. i just want the cell locked in its
current size and not change when entering text.
