can I create a text box so that it grows with the amount of text entered in it? I can only see to make it a set size.

I have a form and am adding text boxes.  I want them to be able to grow with the amount of text entered by the user.  This is basically for 'comments' on a form.  Most text boxes may only need a few words, and some may be 2 paragraphs.  It appears I must create a text box and give it a static size.  Am I missing how to do this?

Thank you!

Michelle

I still see "Auto" as font size.

If you want dynamic fields, then you need to use LiveCycle or be prepared to do a lot of form redesign and coding.

Thank you gkaiseril, what is lifecycle?

Also, I am not clear on what you mean or are referring to when you said "I still see "Auto" as font size."

Can you explain?

Michelle

My mistake, it is LiveCycle and it is another product sold by Adobe to create PDF forms It consist of number of specialty server products and a stand alone program. Mostly used by large institutional users.
