Default limiting number of words in textbox in Word 2007

I created a Textbox in MS-Word 2007 by going
to the Developer option-then chose Design Mode,
then Legacy Tools-Text box Field. The MultiLine
and Enterkey properties are True and the rest
are default values.

Is there a way I can limit the number of
words to a certain number? I realize there is a way to limit the
number
of characters in the Textbox by the Maxlength value. Also, is it
possible that a message
appears when the user exceeds the maximum length informing
him about that. Do I need to use VBA code or do the inbuilt
features of word allow me to do that?
