Default Protect a table layout

Hi,
I'm trying to protect a table layout which has been created in word,
but want to be able to edit the text within the tables colums and rows
I've tried to fix the column width, but that doesnt work, any ideas?

Default Protect a table layout

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).

Which options did you select? Note that when you choose "Specify height" in
the Table Properties dialog box, you must also choose "Exactly" for "Row
height is."

Default Protect a table layout

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

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