Expanding Cells
I have set up a table and when I type into the cell, the cell expands to
accommodate the text. Is there a way to fix the size of the cell so that instead of the cell expanding, the text will go to the next cell? |

Turn off auto resizing and set a preferred width for the column/cell. Auto
resizing can be disabled with the check box at Table | Table Properties | Table | Options or by choosing Table | AutoFit | Fixed Column Width. The column width can then be specified on the Column tab of Table Properties. -- Suzanne S.

How do I make it jump to the next cell. I don't want to have to hit tab or
move my cursor. Could i use form to do this? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Turn off auto resizing and set a preferred width for the column/cell.

Even if you use a protected form, you will still have to tab (or click)
between form fields. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "kaalkire" wrote in message ... How do I make it jump to the next cell.
