Word - Fillable Form Text Box Question - Effin Haole - 03-20-2006
How do you keep the fillable text box from expanding to more than one line of text?
Or more to the point, how can you limit the amount of text it will hold?
I thought once I protected the form it it would work, but I was wrong.
TIA

On my Windows box here at work, right-clicking gives you access to the field's properties, including maximum field length.

yeah. if you double click the text entry field (when its unlocked) you should get a dialog box that will allow you to set the properties of a particular field. You can make it just text, or just numbers, or a date etc. You can limit the amount of characters. you can enter default text etc.
