Default Text Form Fields in Word Tables

I do not have a huge understanding of computers, so please bear with me. I
have created a password protected table in Word with Text Form Fields. I
want the cells of the table to expand as information is added. Right now,
the text form field will accept my information, but when we reach the bottom
of the cell, you cannot read what we have typed.

Thanks for your help!

Default Text Form Fields in Word Tables

Your situation is obviously the opposite of what most users present. It
appears that your text form field has been placed in a table cell with the
row height set to an exact amount. Set the row height to Auto (by clearing
the radio button in Table Properties), and it will expand as needed.
