Getting a sentence to wrap around a text field

I've seen discussions regarding the wrapping of text WITHIN a text field, but how do you get the sentence that surrounds a text field to adjust, or wrap, according to the size of the text entered within the text field?

You don't, at least with a form created in Acrobat.

Thanks everyone. For clarification, I have a sentence that contains a text field like this:

I, [enter name here], do solemnly swear and attest that information is correct to the best of my knowledge.

Rather than having it look like this with white space:

I, John Smith.       , do solemnly swear and attest that information is correct to the best of my knowledge.

I'd prefer it to look like this:

I, John Smith, do solemnly swear and attest that information is correct to the best of my knowledge

In other words, the sentence wraps ar adjusts to the size within the text field.

I don't think it is possible but wanted to make sure.

Have you tried the "multi-line" option for the field?

This will let an entry longer than the width of the field to wrap within the field boundaries,  Note you will need to size the field to hold the multiple lines or a "+" will appear in the lower left corner of the field.

You can put the whole sentence in a text field.

Your question doesn't make sense. You want to wrap the text according to its own size?
