Table width, text wrap?

How do I make a table width stationary in width while typing long text
strings? I do not want to do a carriage return at the end of the width I
want.

I created a blank table, 1 column, 1 row, and set the width for 6 inches. I
went to table properties>cell>options>and checked the "wrap text" box. When I
type text in the table cell it pushes the table width out to the right rather
than wrapping.

Thank you!
 
On the Table tab of Table Properties, click Options and clear the check box
for "Automatically resize to fit contents."
