Word 2007 - Creating Forms Text Box Format Problem
I've created a text box in a form, input some default text to the desired
size. The form works fine, except the new text input by the user is different size (tiny). I've gone to Developer Tab...Legacy Tools..Legacy Forms, Text Form Field. Even if you place the curser in between the default text, the new text is not the same. Any idea's? -- Regards Mike

Word 2007 - Creating Forms Text Box Format Problem
If you are using legacy form fields, unprotect the form, format the
formfield(s) as you wish. Then re-protect the form. The default text and any input text will adopt that format. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Mike wrote: I've created a text box in a form, input some default text to the desired size.
