OK, here is my question....is there code I can use that allows me to type text up to 3 lines versus limiting how much I type on 3 lines by character count.

The file is a Word 2003 form/ template.

I have a textbox that has the following properties and I want it to be multiline (3 lines):
AutoSize=False
MaxLength=200
Height=39
Width=282.75

Problem: I want to allow people who are doing data entry to type up to 3 lines of text. The character count changes based on the sentences and how many space bars they use....so my current solution of 200 characters is *not* working because I do not know how many spacebars and periods they are going to use so text is getting cut off and running onto a 4th line that is not showing.

Recommendations????

Any help is appreciated!
Andrea :)
