How do I format a text box so that everything typed prints?
I'm using Word 2000; I need to format a text box in a form I am creating.
While I can get scroll bars to appear and I can read evrything while on the computer, when it prints it only prints what is showing in the box at the time I click print. Is there a way to get the entirety of the box to print? Some way to get the boxes to expand as the entry requires? I'm at if anyone has any answers. |

Hi ?B?Y3N0YW5sZXlAcGFydG5lcnMub3Jn?=,
I'm using Word 2000; I need to format a text box in a form I am creating. While I can get scroll bars to appear and I can read evrything while on the computer, when it prints it only prints what is showing in the box at the time I click print. Is there a way to get the entirety of the box to print? No, there is not. Text boxes are "windows" into other applications. So WYSIWYG. Some way to get the boxes to expand as the entry requires? What kind of text boxes are we talking about (what commmand did you use to create/insert)? And in which version of Word?

I'm using Word 2000 and the commands were as follows:
In the menu bars I brought up "forms" and "web tools" Under Web Tools I used the second option down on the left hand side, "text box" and shaped it as I needed It will hold anything I want to type in, and will show there is more with scroll bars, but I cannot get the entire contents to print out; it will only print what is showing in the text box as I click print Sound familiar?

Hi ?B?Q2hyaXM=?=,

I never use the web tools... I assume you're creating an HTML (web) page? Taking a look at this control's properties, it doesn't look like you can get it to resize with the content. That means that, if you are creating a web page, you'd need to use some kind of code to create a "print view" - writing the page's content to a new HTML sheet for printing purposes. And for that, you'd need to ask in the word.web.authoring newsgroup, or some other newsgroup that deals with writing code for web pages. If you're NOT specifically trying to create a webpage, then try using the FORMS toolbar's textbox, as that will resize with the text you enter into it.
