I am creating a form in Word 2007. What I am trying to do is create a &quot;Comments&quot; box. I have tried &quot;rich text&quot; &quot;text form field&quot; and a &quot;text box&quot; the problem I am having is that I need people to be able to write ONLY within the size of the box of course after protecting the document. It seems that the boxes will either expand after typing when it reaches the end of the box, or it will allow you to keep typing after the end of the box and if you drag the box down you can see the continued text. I have looked at the propeties and I see the &quot;maxlength&quot; problem with that is that my boss fliped out on me because depending on what words you type it will either stop you way before, thinking you still have more room to type but if you typed something else it will gow past the box. I don't know is there a way to make it only type within the boxes size ?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
