Default How do I create a Fixed Text Box

PLEASE HELP
I am a school teacher and have been asked to create/set out a new student
report document for teachers.

I have been asked to create a document which has several text boxes in but
that are fixed (i.e. in size, font, location on page, etc).
This means that the different subjects will have a text box to
enterinformation in. These boxes need to be fixed.
The amount of text a teacher can put in is controled. Teachers can not move
the text box around or make it bigger to enter more text in. The size and
style of the font is also fixed. etc etc.
I can make a text box, but when i enter text into it and I get to the bottom
of it, the box gets bigger or the text dissapears out of the text box (but
not onto the main document).

In conclusion I want to make text boxes (or is it frames?) where a teacher
will open up the template report for a child. They will see several text
boxes which I have created and they will be able to enter text into these
text boxes. The style is fixed. The text box can not be made bigger to
accept more text. Everything is fixed.

I have tried looking in the help section and can not find anything simple to
follow.
If you are able to help please provide simple, step by step instructions.

Yours gratefuly

John
