Hello,

I have a medical form a physician has to fill after a physical. It consists of some check boxes and mostly of text to be entered with the doctor's notes. He should be able to write multiple-row texts, but only where allowed and within the space available (it all has to stay within the page).

I created a table and it has to stay within the page (landscape). I also put dotted lines where the doctor should enter the text, but the problem is that when he hits the return stroke, the the lines below are moved down, and the table size exceeds the page.
I tried unchecking the autofit option in the table properties and setting a fixed (exact) height for the cells, but it doesn't work.

I understood that I have to protect the file and allow editing forms only.

So I am trying to find a form for multiple-row texts.

• If I use the text form, then it's just a short grey segment, it does not highlights the whole space available (represented by the dotted lines)
• If I use the text box (under Active X Controls), the user cannot hit the carriage return and start a new line within the box.

So in both ways I cannot do what I want. If you want to have a look at the file, I uploaded it here

Thanks
