I have not been following this thread from the beginning, so I do not know which program you are using. If you are using MS-Word to set up a table, you can open the table properties and from the row tab, you can set the height of the rows. I usually set this at the beginning when I have only 2 rows in my table and I have them selected. Depending on who will be filling in the information, I will set the row height to .5 or .75 inches. Once back in my table I keep pressing tab until I have more rows then will fit on the page. I then delete the rows that pushed to page 2 so that all I have left is one page of lines.
If I remember right, I would set my column width depending on what information was going in them. Here is an example: Name = 3 inches Phone = 3 inches Street address = 4 inches City = 2-3 inches Dates = 1-1.5 Zip = 1-1.5 inches Checkmark or a single character = .5-.75 inch These are just starting points and will most likely have to be changed to meet your needs. If you are collecting a lot of information, you will need to consider setting up your table in land scape instead of portrait.

I make the sheets for people to sign in as they arrive. I don't enter the info. But, if I did, I would still do the table the same, I think. After choosing the number of columns and rows, I would select fix column width and then in the auto fit spin box, select auto. Then if the text doesn't fit in the column width, it will just make a second, or more if needed, line of text. Hope this makes sense. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Pingstock" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 19, 2011 6:04 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] creating event sign up sheets > Shari > > You do not have to do anything with the size of your cells to make > sure the name and information fits. > > Kathy > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Shari > Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 5:12 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] creating event sign up sheets > > Hi Kathy, > > I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but when I need a sign > in sheet for a meeting or event, I just type the name of the event and > date at the top of the page; insert a table with the appropriate > number of columns and rows; title each column, and that's it. > > Shari > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kathy Pingstock" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2011 11:15 AM > Subject: [JAWS-Users] creating event sign up sheets > > >>I have word 2007, can anyone give me some ideas in how to create an >>event sign up sheet probably about 3 colomns >> >> It will have firs/last name contact number maybe e-mail address >> >> >> >> Thanks >> >> >> >> kathy >> >> For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: >> http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ > > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ > > > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
