I created tables. I locked the width and height of the cells. Everything almost works except the user can keep typing in a cell until the new characters go off behind the edge. For most of us that isn't a problem because we would recognize what is happening but I will have people using this that are very new to it and will be doing it from home without benifit of any instruction.

I can see them going back to insert something in a cell and not realize that characters are going off to the right.

Is there anyway to limit the number of characters typed like Forms has. And, of course still spell check like forms doesn't? Or am I asking too much?

Thanks

With some training, I'm sure your users will be able to accept that the amount of data they can type into a cell will be limited.

There is no way to set the number of characters allowed in a restricted document. (For that you need an ordinary form, and a macro that takes care of the spellchecking. See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...ProtectDoc.htm.)

In a restricted document, you should be able to spellcheck, though. Are you saying that this doesn't work for you?
