Word 2016 Developer Text Box

Question

When using "developer" to make a form with text boxes, how does one set the font to auto-reduce so all the text shows?

Answer 1

Doug,

You are so helpful, but I don't talk the programming language. Ha, ha!  I think I'm to the point I need to contract this out to get it done. Thanks so much for your input.

There is no automatic way to reduce the size of the font.

It may be possible to create a macro that would check if the End of the Range of the textbox was on the same page as the Start of the Range and run through a loop to reduce  the size of the font until that were both on the same page.

Answer 3

Doug,

The text box will expand with content; however, I do need the box size constrained or it will run off the page!  I think the box is content controls. Any ideas?  Thanks for helping.

Answer 4

There is no way to do that.  What sort of text box are you using? Content Controls, Legacy FormField, or ActiveX?

I guess that it must be an ActiveX text box as the other types will expand to accommodate the text unless they are constrained by having been inserted into the cell of a table with fixed dimensions.
