Word Forms

[Guest]

I'm creating a form with Microsoft word. I'm adding help text to the fields.
Under the help key F1 I am able to add text up to certain number of
characters. I need to add more text than what the field is allowing. What
can I do to add a longer help description than what the field is allowing?

You could create an on-entry macro that pops up a message box.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." For more
about online forms, follow the links at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,
