Help! Cannot figure out how to edit a field on a form - Word 2007
I must confess, I just HATE Office 2007. I can't find anything and
sometimes Help doesn't even open. That said, I created a form and today found one field (a text field) I need to enlarge. I have no idea how to do this and I've spent the past 40 minutes looking at every menu and trying to find the answer in this group or in Help. So HELP!~! Thanks - Sara |

By default, when you create a text field, it is set to a value of "Unlimited"... How was it changed to about 50? 1) Right click the text field. 2) Select "Properties" 3) Apply the number you desire in the "Maximum Length:" value, or set it to "Unlimited." 4) Click OK. If you want to limit the available space, the best method is to place the text field in a table row and set the table row to an exact height value. This way, you do not have to worry about the exact number of characters. Indeed, the same number of characters, depending on the font used, may occupy very different area on the page. -- ______________________________ Jean-Guy Marcil Montreal, Canada- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Properties is grayed out. And best I can tell, there is no protection on the form. The older versions of Word, you could "lock" the form. I can't figure out if I did that on this one - I can't find that feature in Help, though I may have found it and enabled it when I built the form. Thanks Sara |
