Word Wrap using Control Toolbox

G

I have created a fill-in form and inserted a text box using the Control
Toolbox. When I set the max. # of characters for the text box my text isn't
wrapping so I can see what users have inserted. It's just typing one
straight line of text. In properties I have WordWrap set to "true".

Try setting AutoSize to True and MultiLine to True. The box will size
vertically, wrapping text as required according to the fixed width. I hope
that's what you wanted.

You'll also have to set the MultiLine property to "true" and make the box
big enough to display all the characters.
