Default Table keeps expanding

I'm using a Table where text is inserted into blocks. The blocks are supposed
to remain "fixed" in size as data goes in, but they are expanding, which
pushes everything below them onto the next page, ruining the format. How can
I fix this?

Default Table keeps expanding

Set a fixed row height. In the Table Properties dialog box, click the
Row tab. To access this dialog box, click Table | Table Properties
(assuming you are not using Word 2007). Click the Row tab. Check
"Specify height," set the "Row height is" option to "Exactly" and then
type the desired value.
