TEXT BOX (ACTIVEX CONTROLS)

[Troy]

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?

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,

You need to change the Multiline attribute of the textbox from False to True
via its Properties dialog.
