Default How do I add an expandable field for text in a Word.doc?

I am trying to create a Word "Fill in" form. I want the fields to expand
with the customer's answers, allowing the formatting and page breaks to
adjust to the customers responses.

How do I insert those fields, and allow for enough characters to capture
their answers?

Hi Capted99,

If you insert formfields at the appropriate places, and protect the document for forms once you're done, Word will automatically
adjust the layout to accommodate the field contents as they're completed.
