Do you have the paragraph formatted with space after it? If it is formatted
with 12pts after it, the cell will be sized to provide that space, which may
look to you like room for another line, but when that line is added, the 12
pts after it also need to be provided for and hence the row height
increases.

When I type into my form into a text field inserted into a cell, and my
line
exceeds the width of my cell, it continues to a new line but at the same
time
it adds a line to the cell height. There is room in the cell for more
lines.
How can I stop it from adding new lines to the page and just use the
available space within the cell?
