When i type into a table I have in a template, the text will 'push' the cell
width if the text is long enough. I want the text to wrap within the cell and
not change the cell size.

Don't confuse data storage with data presentation. Table datasheets
are for data STORAGE. If you want text to wrap, create a Form (for
onscreen viewing) or a Report (for printing) with a textbox based on
the table. You can set the properties of the textbox to wrap.
