Printing a Comment field on a pre-formatted form

I’m working on building a form that prints on 3-part paper. With the 3-part
paper, the position of the data needs to be very precise. I have a Comments
field that is 216 characters that will take up 3 lines on the printed form if
all 216 characters are used. My issue is that if the user only enters 50 out
of 216 characters, I still need the form to print out 3 lines instead of just
1 (with the remaining lines being blank). If it only prints the 1 line, the
whole form shifts up and doesn’t fit into each “partâ€.
 
Just to clarify, I'm looking for assistance in having this comment field
print as 3 lines even if there is only 1 line of data (spaces or blanks) to
maintain the alignment of the form fields. Thank you.
 
Thank you for your response but is there a way to do it without using tables?
The reason is that I have to save this form as an HTML document and the
HEIGHT command is invalid in HTML.
 
I don't know the answer to that, but I believe that FrontPage can create
tables (on Web pages) with exact row height. Perhaps I'm wrong, though.
