Default Text Box

Hi Herb,

Thanks for the reply. There appears to be two types of text boxes within
Word. One is the text box that is pulled from the Draw button bar. The
other is the one from the form design tool bar. The text box I have in
question is the text Box pulled from the form design button bar. I see what
you are talking about in requards to a regular text box. If you would like,
I could send you the form I have been working on so you can see what I am
talking about.

Right click the edge of the text box and choose Format Text Box. Click the
Text Box tab and ensure that "Word wrap text in AutoShape" is enabled. Take
a look at Resize AutoShape to fit text as well, if you might find that
option useful.

I am creating a form in Word 2003 using text boxes. Mu difficulty is that
I
can not get the text to wrap in the box. If the text exceeds the size of
the
text box it will not wrap. I have gone into the properties window for the
text box and specififed that I want the text to wrap - but it will not.
ANy
suggestions?
