Greeting,

I am developing a webpage with a layout table and various layout cells. Is
there a way to prevent a layout cell from resizing (an for the text to wrap
inside) when text is added. I want the text to just wrap to a new line and
not expand the width of the cell. I have tried to find this on MS sites to
no avail. Thanks.

May sure that you have content in all cells within the row.

If you have a table of varying row heights and column widths, you can
equalize the width or height of selected rows or columns.

1.. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
2.. Do one or both of the following:
Make rows the same height

1.. Place the insertion point in a column where the rows are uneven.
2.. On the Table menu, point to Select, and then click Column.
3.. On the Tables toolbar, click Distribute Rows Evenly .
If the Tables toolbar is hidden, on the View menu, point to Toolbars, and
then click Tables.

Make columns the same width

Hi,

I tried this example, I get all columns distributed equally. I out text in
all columns (three of them) to the full width. If I add additional test in
any of the three, the columns are resized. Any way to stop this? Thanks.

Table/cell values are minimum width values, they will always expand to fix any content that can not
be wrapped to the next line.

Example

| -width of cell- |

now you insert the following:

http://www.ycoln-resources.com

and the cell will expand to fit it, as it can not be wrapped:

|http://www.ycoln-resources.com|

You must have spaces within your text that will allow your text to wrap within the width you have
set for the cell.
