Once a table has been created how do I allow users to type in the table but
not for the table to change length?

Please help

You could place section breaks directly above and below the table and then
place form field text boxes in each of the cells. After populating the table
with form fields, click on TOOLS and select PROTECTION. Click the FORMS
option button and then click the Sections Command button. Unselect the
sections before and after the table, and if you wish, assign a password for
unprotecting the section.

The limits the user to the number of rows and columns you've previously
defined for the table, while enabling to have full editing capabilities
elsewhere in the document.

Hope this helps...

To some extent it depends what you want to happen when the users enter more
data than will fit without expanding the table - but there are two settings,
one for columns and one for rows which can be used to constrain cell size
and, hence, table size.

For column widths ...

Table Properties Table tab
Click on Options and uncheck "Allow resize to fit contents"

For Row Height ...

Select the table
Table Properties Row tab should show "all Rows"
Set the row height as you want
Select "Exactly" from the dropdown.
