Text wrapping in table cells
I am trying to create a single-column table in which text (if too much to fit
in a cell) will wrap to the row below it (instead of increasing the row height). I am not set on having a table. What I am trying to accomplish, is a form that will include about 5 or 6 horizontal lines where text could be typedand then the document could be printed, Or the blank document could be printed and distributed to be filled out by hand. |

What you are attempting cannot be done in a table unless you use drawing
lines in an individual cell. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm -- Suzanne S.
