Clear the Allow Row to Break Across Pages check box.Using the Row Height drop-down list, choose Exactly.On the Row tab, select the Specify Height check box, and type a specific height you want used for these particular rows that will contain graphics.Right-click on the selected rows and choose Table Properties.Select the row or rows that will contain pictures.METHOD 2: Freeze both height and width of cells in targeted rowsĬomplete the steps above under Method 1 and then do the additional steps below to lock the row height of targeted rows: One advantage of this approach is that if cells end up containing long lengths of text instead of a picture, the cells will continue to accommodate extra content by auto-adjusting the row height, as necessary. With this new table setting the insertion of a large picture is much more friendly because the column width is not changed. Remove the check mark for “ Automatically resize to fit contents”.
On the Tables tab, click on the Options.Right-click on the table and choose Table Properties.METHOD 1: Freeze cell width but still allow the row height to adjust as necessary for the entire tableĬhange the parameters of your table as follows: The other way is to go one step further and lock both cell width and height by following both Method 1 and 2 below. One way is to simply focus on locking cell width by following Method 1 below. The choice of which depends on the specific need. Then subsequently, the image would automatically adapt to fit the size of the table cell, basically to achieve the opposite behavior from the default setting in which the cell adapts to the size of the picture. The curators wanted to know if they could somehow freeze the size of table cells in Word. This annotated screenshot shows this familiar problem that many experience. Too much time was wasted after insertion of a big image with down-sizing it to make the table cell go back to its original size. They were frustrated with the way that Word automatically adjusts table cells to fit the dimensional needs of the graphic being inserted. The local art museum asked me for advice on making Word tables more friendly to the insertion of pictures.
