Use TARDIS technology!
I am unaware that you can achieve this in Word. Other than a fixed number of
characters or a fixed box size or both, I don't know of any solution in
Word.

: Hello all!
:
: I hope everyone is doing well on this lovely Friday.
:
: I have a client who wishes me to create a form whereby there are
: fixed-size boxes that his users can fill in with text. Instead of the
: containers expanding to fit the content, he wants the content itself to
: "shrink to fit" automatically. For example, if his client runs out of
: space, he/she can continue typing and the font will reduce accordingly.
:
: I've tried experimenting with form fields, tables, text boxes and
: frames, and while I can get the outside border to remain static, I
: can't for the life of me figure out how to have the text bcome smaller
: if it runs over the space provided.
:
: Is this possible in Word 2003?
:
: Thanks so much for your help!
