Hello,

Is it possbile to use form fields in Word table cells, and have for
fields wrap so they don't break the correct column widths? I have
table of form fields, but when text is entered in these they do no
wrap at all, and break the table layout. Is there a way to do this?
thank
 
Yes,

Unless the cells of the table have fixed dimensions, the text entered into a
formfield will wrap within the cell just like any other text entered into a
table cell.

What do you mean by "break the table layout"?

Go to the Table tab of Table Properties, click on Options..., and clear the
check box for "Automatically resize to fit contents."

Thanks - yes the problem was when the user entered text into the for
fields, the table cells would expand horizontally instead of wrapping
hence breaking the overall layout of the table. I'll double-check tha
table properties dialog box. Thanks for your help
