Word - Form - Text Box

[DummyForAccess]

I am working on a form in Word. I want to add a text box that users can fill in. If I add a text box from the Form toolbox, it creates a teeny one that can "grow". How can I create one that is like the very box I am typing in now, that is a specific size and shape? I had one on the form before I used the protect feature to enable check boxes... Help!

If you place a TextBox1 on the Form1, and CommandButton1 on the bottom of the Form, paste this code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

With TextBox1
    .Top = 0
    .Left = 0
    .Width = Me.Width
    .Height = CommandButton1.Top
    .MultiLine = True
    .Text = "This is my text" & vbNewLine & _
        "in the text box"
End With

End Sub

Is that what you are after?

Have fun.

sorry, I'm lost. I'm not doing any programming with it, I'm just trying to add the box to a document in Word that will be used as a form to fill out - but not linked to any database or anything like that...
