TEXT BOX (ACTIVEX CONTROLS)
I've added several text boxes (ActiveX Control) to a form I'm making. I've
made the box tall enough to fit lots of text. However, the text is not wraping down, it's showing up as one line (one line will not fit all of the text) How do I make this type of text box wrap down to show all the text? |

TEXT BOX (ACTIVEX CONTROLS)
Open each box's Properties dialog and change the MultiLine property to
True. You might also want to set the ScrollBars property to show a vertical scrollbar. In general, though, the ActiveX controls are meant for use in web pages, not in ordinary forms. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa140269(office.10).aspx and, for a more useful kind of form, http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm and http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

You need to change the Multiline attribute of the textbox from False to True
via its Properties dialog. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
