Default Protect a table layout

So how do i get the column width and rows to remain the same so they cannot
be dragged to alter?

You can still change the column width, but it will not change just because
you add text to the cells.

You disabled auto resizing and set a preferred width for each column?

Since it is the column width you seem to be attempting to control, did
you
disable auto resizing?

To prevent the table from resizing, if that's what you are trying
to
do,
also specify a fixed height for each row (Row tab of the Table
Properties
dialog box).
