word 2002 fix text box size
we are writing a book that has a fixed size for the amount of text on some subjects.
so in word 2002 we made a text box of the correct size and copy paste the text into it to see if it fits. oops! the text box shrinks to fit the text! how do we keep the text box size? thanks all |

Instead of a textbox, use a single-cell table with a fixed row height and column width. In current Office versions (I don't recall the exact path in Word 2003 & earlier, but it's mostly the same after the first bit):
• For the rows, set the exact row height under Table Tools>Layout>Properties>Row>Specify Height>Exactly. • For the columns, set the preferred column width under Table Tools>Layout>Properties>Columns and uncheck the 'automatically resize to fit contents' option under Table Tools>Layout>Properties>Table>Options.
