Does anyone know how I can limit the number of words a user can type in a
text form field? I made a template, but I can't figure out how to limit the
number of words a user can type in a text form field.

Stick it inside a table cell of fixed width and height.

The number of characters can be specified in the Form Field Options, but
this won't prevent users from pressing Enter. If you want to limit input to
a certain number of lines, put the form field in a table cell with Exact
height.
