Locking Table Size
I'm using tables for an employee appraisal and I want to lock the size of the
table so they can type in it, but it won't increase in size if they keep typing beyond the size on the screen. Anything out there for that? |

Set the rows to an exact height and the columns to a preferred width, with
auto resizing disabled. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "TiffanyH" wrote in message ...

Ok great! Now that the tables are locked in size, is there anyway to not
allow the use to continue typing beyond the cell size? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Set the rows to an exact height and the columns to a preferred width, with auto resizing disabled. -- Suzanne S.

No, you just have to hope they have sense enough to stop when their typing
starts disappearing. In a protected form, you can limit the number of characters, but that doesn't prevent them from pressing Enter. -- Suzanne S.
