Creating General Text Remarks Area
On my form I want to create a general text area for comments. I add a text
form field but when I enter a return to move to a new line I end up moving everything down in the form. I tried entering text box from the control tool bar but then I can not seem to protect my form or get it to work right even though multiline is probably the way to go. I need somebody to give me a start and I need to make sure I can protect my form when I am done. Bill |

Creating General Text Remarks Area
The usual way to deal with this is to place the form fields in table cells
whose dimensions are fixed; that way, the layout will not be affected as users press Enter. Also, you may want to avoid using ActiveX controls (from the Control Toolbox). Their presence will force Word into Design mode. Delete any remaining controls and then turn off Design mode, by clicking on the button on the Control Toolbox toolbar. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Bill Bradshaw" wrote in message ...
