When you develop a table in Word, you can have the table automatically resized to fit the contents. Nonetheless, sometimes you may want to freeze the size of the cells in the rows and also columns so they will not transform. This is simple to achieve.

Open up words file having the table for which you wish to freeze the dimension of the cells and discover the table in the paper. If you wish to freeze the size of all the cells in the table, which is what we carried out in our instance, move your computer mouse over the crosshair box in the upper-left edge of the table up until it comes to be an arrow with a crosshair icon.

Click on the crosshair box to select the whole table, if preferred. Right-click on the crosshair box as well as select “Table Properties” from the popup menu.

NOTE: If you do not want to ice up all the cells in the table, choose the rows, columns, or cells you want to ice up, right-click on the chosen cells, and also select “Table Properties” from the popup food selection.

On the “Table Properties” dialog box, click the “Row” tab.

Get in the dimension you want for the elevation of the row(s) in the “Specify height” edit box and then pick “Exactly” from the “Row elevation is” drop-down list.

Click on the “Table” tab.

Click the “Options” switch.

On the “Table Options” dialog box, in the “Options” section, click the “Automatically resize to fit contents” check box so there is NO check mark in package. Click “OK”.

Click “OK” on the “Table Properties” dialog box to shut it.

If you do not shut off the “Automatically resize to fit components” alternative, Word will readjust the column width of your tables to present your data in the best means feasible.
