I need to create a document that allows me to enter information in the tab
(table cell) without the size, frame or format changing. What I want is very
simple but I can not get it to work. For example if I type "Name:" and right
next to it I create a one cell table or form, when I enter the information
the size of the box expands. I don't want that to happen. I need the box to
stay the same without going to a second line or adding characters to the
right. How can I do this? How can I lock the size of this box (table)? Can
someone explain in detail? Pardon if I sounding way too ignorant about this.

Turn off auto resizing in the table and set the cell to an exact row height
and preferred column width.
