WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: Is there a way to lock the cell size of a table so a user cannot put in too much information, making them longer, and thus running the form over into another page? Solutions: There is no direct way to prevent a user from entering an excess amount of information, such as a beep facility to give a warning when the cell capacity has been reached. However, cell size can still be controlled by fixing the row height. This is done with the following keystrokes: Alt-F7, 2 (Format), 3 (Row Height), 1 or 3 (Fixed), type in desired height, and exit to the document screen. When a user enters information into a cell, it will still expand if the amount of information is greater than the original cell size. But, when the table is viewed, or printed, it will appear in its original size where only the information within the specified cell limits will be seen.
