I was wondering if there is a way that the font size in a text form field can
self-adjust (become smaller if necessary) in order that the cell would stay
the same size, i.e. whether there were 5 or 10 characters in the cell, the
font size would change, not the size of the cell

Right click on the cell - drop down table will show "table properties" go to
the "Cell" tab and then options - fit text - you will be able to "lock" your
cell and the characters will space to fit inside the locked cell . . . K

Interesting. Hadn't realised that feature was there. Seems to achieve the
desired result, altho looks a bit funny with very short or very long text.
Thanks for the "new thing I learned today"!
