ActiveX control - textbox

[muppie]

I am trying to insert a textbox that will allow multiple
lines of text. I want to be able to insert approximately
10 words into a slide. I have the textbox on the slide -
but I can only get text to be on one line. Is there any
way that more than one line can be used?

Muppie,
Set the MultiLine property of the textbox to True.

Dear Shyam-
Thank-you so much for your help! Setting the MultiLine
to True got me more than one line - but now how to I get
to the next line? I want to be able to set up a list of
words. I have tried just putting in blank spaces after
the first word to get to a second word on the next line -
but that doesn't work. Any suggestions?

You can do this several ways. The easiest way is to select the text box and
drag the lower right corner down and to the left to size it the way you
want. That will force the text to wrap to multiple lines. You can re-size
it as you wish until it has the width and height you want. There are more
precise ways of doing this, if you like, by going to Format > Textbox > Size
and fiddle with the size and/or scale.

Muppie,
With MultiLine set to True, you can press Ctrl+Enter to move to the next
line in the activex textbox control.
