Is there a way to lock the size of a cell so that it doesn't get bigger when
linefeeds are entered? I have an app that will enter text into a cell, but
when it adds more than one line the cell gets bigger and pushes the text at
the bottom of the page onto a second page. I want to keep everything on the
same page (the cell will never be full of text).

Set the row height to an Exact dimension.

I believe that did it. Thanks!

Well, it didn't quite do it. The size stays the same, but now the whole
table (one cell table) and everything after it moves to a second page.

Make sure you don't have too many paragraphs formatted as "Keep with next."
