To prevent the table from resizing, if that's what you are trying to do,
also specify a fixed height for each row (Row tab of the Table Properties dialog box). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "emerald" wrote in message ...

You can still change the column width, but it will not change just because
you add text to the cells. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "emerald" wrote in message ...
