2003 tables

[jellybelly]

how the heck do you keep table column width from
increasing when you are typing in it?

I want the different columns to remain the same widths
regardless of what you type in them...

thanks,
jelly

Set them at fixed widths by right clicking in them and then selecting either
Table or Cell properties.

That is the normal behavior for table elements, they always expand to fit
the content. You need to give the columns a fixed width value, probably in
pixels. If you assign a value in percentage, the cells will resize with the
browser window which may not be what you want.

- Right click on the cell and choose "Cell Properties..."
- In the upper right corner, check "Specify width"
- Enter an appropriate value and select "In Pixels"
- Click "OK"

Keep in mind that when you assign width to a cell, any other cells in that
column will effectively inherit the value. This is a benefit because it
means you don't have to assign a width to _every_ cell in a column, but it
can have repercussions if that's not what you're looking for. This is an
HTML issue, not a FrontPage issue.
