Printing the hidden portion of a text box

[Guest]

Have a form with text boxes in. In the Text oxes yuo can types down below
the visible portion of the box (a vertical scroll bar appears). But when
printed, it only shows the visible portion. Is there a way to get the box to
grow to display the entire text on the printed form?

No, there is not. Have you considered using a textbox control from the FORMS
toolbar, instead? That will automatically grow when you type in it...

Right-click on any toolbar and choose Forms. On the Forms tool bar there is
a Text Form Field button. This assumes, however, that you'll be making a
protected form; see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
