I created a form using a table and am using the cell borders to underlie the
fields. I have a few blank lines for users to fill in general comments. This
looks good as is and when printed, but when the user fills in the field it
wraps within the cell and the lines below just move down. Is there a way to
make the text that is entered wrap to the next line?

No, but you can double-click on the text formfield and set the maximum
length of the field to number of characters you think that cell can hold.
Then provide the used another text formfield on the next row. They will
realize that the cell is full (eventually) and recognize the need to TAB to
the next line. If you're not sure how many characters the cell can hole,
look at the bottom left hand side of the Status Bar and it will tell you the
character location you are at in that cell (8, for example). What I
normally do is type a bunch of "w"'s until the cell is full. At the end
take that character count and subtract it from the starting point and you
will get a number that you KNOW the cell can hold (since "w"'s are larger
than other letters). Delete the "w"'s and replace it with a text formfield
and set the property of it to that number of characters.

Hope that makes sense.
