Default automatically expanding columns

My table's vertical line expands (moves) as I enter information. I want the
column to stay the predetermined width and wrap the text to the next line.

If you can figure out how to access the Table Properties dialog in Word
2007, click Options on the Table tab and clear the check box for
"Automatically resize to fit contents."

And if you can't find it, here's how: Place the insertion point inside the
table. On the Table Tools Layout ribbon tab, click the Properties button
(in the Table group).
