Why do you need to use that type of textbox?

We are sending out a word document to different users with certain
topics where they can write a few paragraphs about it. We are using a
Textbox as the widget where they can write about the topics. We expect
users will not write more than N number of words for each topic, but
in case they do, we want the textbox to increase in size so that they
can see the entire text they have written without scrolling and ensure
we can print the entire text when they send the document back to us,
if we wish to, without having to copy the text from the textbox to a
different document. Is there another way to achieve what we want?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I added a Textbox to a Word 2007 document by going
to the Developer option(in the File menu), then chose Design Mode,
then Legacy Tools-Text box Field. The MultiLine
and Enterkey properties are set to True and the rest
are default. The textbox is of size so that it can take some
10 rows of lines. Is there a feature I can choose/set so that
when more than 10 rows of lines are entered the text box
will automatically expand? The rows need to increase so the
textbox needs to expand downwards to accommodate the
text more than 10 lines.
Can someone please advise if there is an inbuilt way/feature to
do it in Word 2007 or do I have to use some VBA code to do that?

I set the AutoSize to true, but
when I go out of the Design mode and try entering text, the
Textbox shrinks to a size which can hold only one character
per line.
