Text boxes and printing

[Guest]

Sorry for the repost but I got no reponses. Is the below immpossible?

Have a form with text boxes in it. In the Text boxes you can type 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?

On the Text Box tab of Format Text Box, check the box for "Resize AutoShape
to fit text."

Thansk for the response. However, for some reason, the Text Box tab is
ghosted out. ANy ideas?

This may depend on the wrapping; I'm not sure.

Text boxes and form fields are not entirely compatible. Use the frame tool
instead from the Forms toolbar. This will expand to accommodate your extra
text if you set the height to 'at least' the size set.
