Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 2:39 pm Post subject: Keep Column widths the same
I have a need to create a table in word that has a text box in it. I need
that text box to have unlimited number of characters. I also need the column
width to stay the same. Should a person type and hit the end of the column,
I want the text to drop to the next line and the row height changes, not the
column width. Can anybody help me with this. I have Word 2000. thanks

Click in the table. Then select Table > Table Properties > Table tab >
Options and turn off "Automatically resize to fit contents". Click OK twice.
In Word 2003, this can also be carried out by selecting Table > Autofit >
Fixed Column Width. I don't remember whether this is possible in Word 2000.
