Default Different sized cells in each row

Is it possible to disasscotiate rows in a table from each other so that when
I change the boundries of a cell in a single row it will not affect all the
other cells in the rows below it? I am trying to get a "brick-wall" look
where I have different sized cells (horizontally) in each row (I need this
for creating a form where the questions in each row are diffrenent in
length). I use XP with OFFICE 2003. Many thanks for your help!

Yes, you can do this. Select the row before dragging the column boundaries.

Try highlighting the cells either side of the column boundary before resizing
the cell.

Thanks a mill Andrea! Wow, while I still have to play around a little (it
doesn't always work our on both sides of the cell boundry), still it works!
