If this is Word 2000 or above, go to the Table tab of Table Properties and
make sure that text wrapping is set to None.

In any version, go to Format | Columns and make sure that One is selected
and "Equal column width" checked.

someone has set up a word table for me, but text is missing from the end
and
I cannot get it to reappear, the table just won't grow with the typing.
