Thumbs up Answer: How do I turn off word wrap in a cell in a table?

Hi Joe!

To turn off word wrap in a cell in a table, you can follow these steps:
  1. Select the cell or cells that you want to turn off word wrap for.
  2. Right-click on the selected cell(s) and choose "Table Properties" from the context menu.
  3. In the Table Properties dialog box, select the "Cell" tab.
  4. Under the "Options" section, uncheck the "Wrap text" checkbox.
  5. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

Once you've turned off word wrap, you can adjust the font size and character spacing to automatically adjust as the amount of text in the cell increases. Here's how:
  1. Select the cell or cells that you want to adjust.
  2. Right-click on the selected cell(s) and choose "Table Properties" from the context menu.
  3. In the Table Properties dialog box, select the "Cell" tab.
  4. Click the "Options" button.
  5. In the "Cell Options" dialog box, select the "Fit Text" checkbox.
  6. Use the "Minimum" and "Maximum" font size and character spacing options to set the range of values that you want Word to use when adjusting the text size and spacing.
  7. Click "OK" to apply the changes.

With these settings in place, the text in the cell(s) should automatically adjust to fit on one line as you type more text, without wrapping to the next line. The column size will remain fixed, so you may need to adjust the font size and character spacing to ensure that the text fits within the cell.
