MS Word Forms - TEXT Fields?

Question

I am fairly new creating Forms within MS Word.

After creating my form and adding text fields I am noticing that when someone enters data in the text fields the form keeps growing to the right. That is not what I want. I would like the text to wrap to the next line. In other words, I want the form to grow vertically, not horizontally when entering data.

Note: I did "Protect Document".

Answer 1

Set the maximum length of the field or put the field into a table cell. That will allow it to "grow" vertically but not horizontally.

Answer 2

If I was in your shoes, I would go to the public library and check out a book on MS Word. Personally, I like The Complete Idiot's Guides (which are especially good for people who are not familiar with a subject) and The Dummies Guides (which are good for people who need to solve a problem quickly). These kinds of books will answer questions you have not even thought to ask.
