Form that users can fill in,ck boxes,mk comments-but not extend fi
Making an emlpoyee evaulation form in Word. Users should be able to fill in
name, check boxes, and add comments. Do not want users able to change form layout. ie when filling in the comment section allow only 3-4 lines of info. When I protect the form and allow only certain fields to be accessed the comment field is allowing users to type as much as they want and this then changes the number of pages from 4 to whatever. |

You did use the Forms tools, Right? If so, double click on the field
you want to limit. The properties dialog box should open. Rather than have the field set for unlimited, change it to a value. Once the number of keystrokes have been reached, the keyboard will stop typing. However, this method does not prevent them from pressing enter several times and increasing the number of lines down, which can push additional text onto the next page. To limit that option, I would make sure my evaluation form is inside a table, and I would limit the height of the particular cell. If you would like more information on creating fill-in forms, see the series "Please Fill-Out this Form" at http://www.mousetrax.com/TechPage.html#autoforms (about half way down the page.) You can skip part 5 unless you want to have the completed information populate an Access database. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.
