Default formatting text in a word TextBox Object


Hi, i created a Word template form using some of the "controls/design mode" available in the developer tab. I am using the TextBox object in the form for data input. When data is entered the font continues in a single line and if it exceeds the with of the text box is hidden.
How can I set the font to remain within the width of the text box and with scrolling function?
Thanks

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your response.
I am using the Text Box Control under Activex controls.

Thanks
Peter

You'll find it a lot easier to make use of the new content controls or the legacy text form fields (the latter require that you apply forms protection to the document).
