Hey, thanks for the tip

I tired it out and unchecked the box however the text still types but not
the box doesn't shrink. It is possible to have the go down in a line with the
text reaches to the end of the table. At the moment the i'm able to enter as
much text but only X amount of characters will appear.

Thanks

For each table row, clear the "Specify height" box on the Row tab of the
Table Properties dialog box. This allows the row to expand as contents are
added to cells.

To prevent the table columns from resizing, click the Table tab (of the
Table Properties dialog box). Click the Options button. In the Table Options
dialog, clear the "Automatically resize to fit contents" option. Click OK.

To open the Table Properties dialog box: Select one or more rows,
right-click and choose Table Properties from the context menu.

Hi Everyone,

Hoping someone could help me out. A user has just given me a word document
and there's a large table in the document. The problem is that when
characters are entered into the row the user is able to enter text passed
the
line and the table the shirinks. Also if the user presses Enter a new line
doesn't appear. The user could still type text in however it doesn't
appear.
But if you delete the before it you'll notice the missing text appear
(hope
that makes sense)

Is there a way to force the table from expanding when text is enterted
also
is there a way to add more text when the user press enter?

Thanks in advanced.
