Default IF field with a formula

You can fix the row height and column width of table cells to an exact size,
which will stop the table from growing when enter is being pressed.
If you set the row height to an exact figure (not 'at least') then provided
you have set an exact row height that will only accommodate the text you
want to allow, pressing enter will not cause the table row height to change.

I find that I have one more issue with my form. Even though I protect
the document my text fields allow the user to press the Enter key.
This inserts one or more paragraph marks and it increases the row
height with each press of the Enter key. I specified row height
exactly, and tried selecting 'fit text' in the cell options. But with
a simple press of the Enter key the user can completely distort my
form appearance. I have about 75 text fields. Is there a way that Word
2003 can control row height in my protected document?


Thanks- Hide quoted text -

Thank you,

I've tried that but there was a complication...
Some of the rows have cells that are split in two forming two half-
height cells, one above the other. I've found that I have to select
'Exact' row height on any row near the row containing form fields, not
just the row that contains the fields. Now it works correctly.

Thanks
