And you'll also need to keep the table from auto resizing. This can be done
from Options on the Table tab of Table Properties or using Table | AutoFit |
Fixed Column Width.

and
set the height of the row to an exact figure, then on the Columns tab,

How do you lock a cell size, height and width, from expanding in Word
2003.
The cell space for data entry needs to be limited. Currently the
document
allows each cell to expand allowing the document to move onto a page 2,
which
is unacceptable.

Appreciate your help.
