Default linking field forms

I have created a word document with text form fields. In several sections of
the document, there is a finite amount of space. I am wondering if there is
a way that when a user enters data into a text form field and it runs out of
room, the text/data can "bleed" or "spill" over to a different area on the
document, such as another page that is used as an addendum. I've looked
around, but all I can find is information about using macros. Addmittedly, I
have no idea how to use macros and don't feel very comfortable with them.
Please... any ideas would be helpful.

Default linking field forms

To have text continue elsewhere in a document, you would make use of linked
text boxes, but those cannot be used in a protected document.

What you could do is redesign the form so that it actually offers more space
for users to type, or why not provide a specific area (say in the end of the
document) for "additional comments."
