Not sure what I did wrong, but I created a fillable form in Word 2010 with just some text fields. But when I protect the form, the fields only allow one character to be typed in. I cannot find a property anywhere that tells me how to set the character length. Can you help me?

Thank You,

Dawn

 
Try accessing what you need through the Developer tab, Controls Panel, click 'Legacy Tools'

This may prove useful as well. Link


Best of luck and make it a great day.

I.T. where a world of choas and confusion comes down to nothing but 1s and 0s.
 
That's what I did. I inserted the text field from the legacy tools in the control panel. No problem inserting field, just not sure why it only allows user to type in one character.
