Word 2007 - table cells

how do you lock a table cell so that it doesn't expand as you type?

RE: word 2007 - table cells

Hello Peggy-ann,
I hope you enjoyed your PowerPoint training session with us.

Regarding your question, I want to be sure I understand what you are asking. It sounds like you would like for your table in Word to act like an Excel spreadsheet, where the text is entered, but not visible unless you click on the cell. Is this correct? If so, unfortunately this is not possible in Word. For this capability, you are better off using Excel. You can always mimic the appearance of a Word document in Excel by removing gridlines (Tools > Options > [view tab] untick Gridlines).

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved. If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. And please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Mara

Here's how to you can find more shortcut key combinations:

1. Look up shortcuts in Help - this should bring up a link to the Keyboard Shortcuts topic.

2. Word has a built-in macro that you can run which will produce a list of all Word's shortcut keys that you can then print.

To access the macro, go to Tools - Macro - Macros. Use the dropdown arrow next to Macros in: to select Word commands.

Scroll down the list under Macro names and select ListCommands, then click Run.

Click OK. A document listing shortcut keys should be generated for you, which you can print for future reference.
