Inserting a fill-in field with a limited write space in word 2007

[wolfbane]

Im trying to make a fill in form where its possible to limit the number of
words written. Also, I want there to be a instructions text in italics which
should disappear when the user starts to write in the form. Someone who knows
how to do it?

You could use { MACROBUTTON NoMacro [Put the italic instruction text here] }
fields inside cells of a table that has fixed cell dimensions to limit the
amount of text that the user enters.

Thank you for trying to help, although I still can't combine the Macro you
suggested with the FORMTEXT command, which I want to use because then I can
set a max number of letters under Proporties. Maybe I'm writing the full
command in the wrong order or its not possible to combine the two.

Sincerely

Wolfbane

I was not suggesting combining the two methods.
