Limit Characters

Hey All, I am going to try and explain this the best I can... I have a table and I basically need to limit the amount of text that can be put into each cell. The total number will vary for each cell and space and returns will count towards the total. Any info would be great. If you are not using proportional fonts (like Courrier) you cannot realistically limit input based on the number of characters, which is anyway difficult to achieve. The usual approach is to limit input based on row height. In the table properties dialog, select the Row tab and set Row height at "Exactly" a value.

Limit Characters
In that case, just set the row height to an Exact amount.
