how to indicate how much space is available for typing ?

[lorraine]

I have used text boxes and indicated 500 characters, but the box looks larger
than the amount of text allowed and users would like to have a better idea of
exactly how much space they have prior to beginning to type.

Use table cells with fixed dimensions rather than text boxes and don't limit
the number of characters. Users then have the space occupied by the cells to
fill with text.

Instead of text boxes, use table cells with fixed dimensions. For
more, you may want to take a look at
