Table width, text wrap?
How do I make a table width stationary in width while typing long text
strings? I do not want to do a carriage return at the end of the width I want. I created a blank table, 1 column, 1 row, and set the width for 6 inches. I went to table propertiescelloptionsand checked the "wrap text" box. When I type text in the table cell it pushes the table width out to the right rather than wrapping. Thank you! |

On the Table tab of Table Properties, click Options and clear the check box
for "Automatically resize to fit contents." -- Suzanne S.
