Why not just extract the first 1000 characters, for example, from the
database and then you won't have the problem. the table will resize,
over riding the cell size, if there is more information than room as
far as i remember, although someone may correct me on this.

~I am importing story text from a database and it is changing the size of
~my table I'm placing it into. Is there any way to give a permanent size to
~a table cell? I have already done such things as <td height="320"
~width="182"> I want the text to cut off when it reaches the bottom of the
~cell and then I'll add a "Click here for full story" button. Any ideas?
~I'm sure it's simple.
~Thanks!
