I'm using Word 2000; I need to format a text box in a form I am creating.
While I can get scroll bars to appear and I can read evrything while on the
computer, when it prints it only prints what is showing in the box at the
time I click print. Is there a way to get the entirety of the box to print?
Some way to get the boxes to expand as the entry requires? I'm at
(e-mail address removed) if anyone has any answers.

Click to expand...
No, there is not. Text boxes are "windows" into other applications. So WYSIWYG.

What kind of text boxes are we talking about (what commmand did you use to
create/insert)? And in which version of Word?

I'm using Word 2000 and the commands were as follows:
In the menu bars I brought up "forms" and "web tools"
Under Web Tools I used the second option down on the left hand side, "text
box" and shaped it as I needed

It will hold anything I want to type in, and will show there is more with
scroll bars, but I cannot get the entire contents to print out; it will only
print what is showing in the text box as I click print

Sound familiar?

I never use the web tools... I assume you're creating an HTML (web) page?
Taking a look at this control's properties, it doesn't look like you can get it
to resize with the content. That means that, if you are creating a web page,
you'd need to use some kind of code to create a "print view" - writing the
page's content to a new HTML sheet for printing purposes. And for that, you'd
need to ask in the word.web.authoring newsgroup, or some other newsgroup that
deals with writing code for web pages.

If you're NOT specifically trying to create a webpage, then try using the FORMS
toolbar's textbox, as that will resize with the text you enter into it.
