Default Keeping page layouts the same when viewing a PC made table documen

I've made a document with form fields within tables. These incluse drop down
fields as well as text fields and check box fields. Q1. When I type several
lines in a form field box, is it possible to 'lock' the size of the table?.
As I type each line, the table height drops down by 1 line. Q2. I designed
this document on my home PC, but when I copy to memory stick and open on my
laptop, some of the page aspects are slightly different, eg, the title on
page 2 will appear on the bottom of page 1, or the drop down fields, which
were in a column, are now misaligned. When I make corrections, copy and
re-read on my PC again, the page aspect is back the other way.

1. You can specify an exact height for the table row. In Table Properties,
click the Row tab. Check "Specify height," type the desired value; for
"Specify height," choose "Exactly," and then click OK.

2. The differences are caused by different printer drivers. Make sure that
you have the same printer driver installed on both computers. See also

Excellent. Thanks very much. I went through all the documents and introduced
'exactly' to all tables. Not only does it fix question 1 but it goes someway
to repairing Q2. Problem with printer driver settings is that this document
is an inspection survey and will be filled out and copied to dozens of other
computers. I guess it'll never be perfect then. Anyway, thanks again.
