Form field default text length
I am trying to create a form field with default text so when the user fills
it out the text disappears. The problem is that my default text is much longer than the what the default text entry allows. It is more of short paragraph really. Is there another way to lengthen the default text or another tool I can use in word to get the same effect as the Form Field I am using Word 2000 |

Then click the Add Help Text button at the bottom of the dialog. In the next dialog, click the Help Key (F1) tab and paste your paragraph into the big box. It will allow up to 254 characters, including spaces. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
