Trying to increase the text string of the fillin prompt. Ideas?

[Guest]

Creating a templates which is using the fillin-field. However User wants to
write more in the prompt. Unfortunately there is a limit to the stretch of
the dialog box ie none, and therefore the User is restricted. Anyone have
any ideas how this box can be increased so that more prompt can be typed in
and seen?

Creating a templates which is using the fillin-field. However User wants to

Fillin fields are really, really, really old. So no, there's no way to expand
them. They really weren't meant for reams of text, just a way to get quick
"input data" (name, address, that kind of thing).

Would it help this user if he could just quickly jump to "input targets" by
pressing a particular key stroke? Then just type in the document at that point?

Which version of Word is involved?
