FWIW, I agree with the others. Even if such a feat could be accomplished
thru the use of VBA I would have serious doubts about the efficacy &
aesthetics of such a finished product - either *all* text would have to be
resized to comply with the font size required by the 'fullest' box or else
there would potentially be such a mish-mash of various sizes that the doc
could be quite difficult to read. We aren't even talking about the technical
complexity of a template, itself.
You might want to try to charmingly convince the client that this is one of
those 'outrageously brilliant concepts' which current technology simply
isn't yet prepared to handle

Hello all!
I hope everyone is doing well on this lovely Friday.
I have a client who wishes me to create a form whereby there are
fixed-size boxes that his users can fill in with text. Instead of the
containers expanding to fit the content, he wants the content itself to
"shrink to fit" automatically. For example, if his client runs out of
space, he/she can continue typing and the font will reduce accordingly.
I've tried experimenting with form fields, tables, text boxes and
frames, and while I can get the outside border to remain static, I
can't for the life of me figure out how to have the text bcome smaller
if it runs over the space provided.
Is this possible in Word 2003?
Thanks so much for your help!
Karen
