Text wrap in Word 2007 text fields
In a form I am developing the text fields will wrap, however they begin
pushing the text in the priovious table column the the left as they wrap the text until there is no room the the first column. The difficulty is the amount of text in each field will always vary?? What am I doing wrong? I don't recall having this trouble in 2003. I checked the text wrapping property and it is set to true, and also played with the multi-line, which placed each letter on its own line which is werid? Thanks -- Jacqueline |

Thanks When the columns are at the widths you want, click in the table; select the Layout tab under Table Tools on the ribbon; click the AutoFit button in the Cell Size group; and choose Fixed Column Width. That will prevent added text from changing the cell widths, and instead will make the cell longer. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
