Default making textbox to be auto sizable

Use a table, 1 row, 1 column.
Set the table properties, advanced, so that the width will not resize.
Then the table can expand in height as someone types into it.
It you need to protect the document and use a form field, use the Legacy
Field / tools, and insert a plain old text form field.


I did that. The only problem is if excess text is
typed in one row (which is more than the page width) it does not go
into the next row,
which is what we want.
