Inserting a fill-in field with a limited write space in word 2007
Im trying to make a fill in form where its possible to limit the number of
words written. Also, I want there to be a instructions text in italics which should disappear when the user starts to write in the form. Someone who knows how to do it? |

See the article "Using MacroButton fields€¯ at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...acroButton.htm You could use { MACROBUTTON NoMacro [Put the italic instruction text here] } fields inside cells of a table that has fixed cell dimensions to limit the amount of text that the user enters. -- Hope this helps.

Inserting a fill-in field with a limited write space in word 2
Thank you for trying to help, although I still can't combine the Macro you
suggested with the FORMTEXT command, which I want to use because then I can set a max number of letters under Proporties. Maybe I'm writing the full command in the wrong order or its not possible to combine the two.

I was not suggesting combining the two methods.
