Can text form fields be formatted to wrap text?

Certainly -- they do so by default. What problem are you having?

While my peers stood by as witnesses, they did not --

that is until -- on saving and reopening document, voila!
So, even though field is protected, must you save doc
before wrapping is possible?

I don't doubt you, but I've never personally seen that behavior, and I can't
even guess at its cause. This sort of thing is why Bob Buckland is quoted on
the opening page of word.mvps.org as saying "Word rarely misses an
opprtunity to perplex."

If you create a new blank document, drop in some random text and a form
field, do you still see the same behavior? In the original document, if you
can reproduce the problem, does it occur only on the screen, or on the
printer also?

Odd though it may seem, you should check the websites of the manufacturers
of your video card and your printer to be sure you have the latest versions
of their drivers. Word depends heavily on those drivers, and we've learned
not to trust them very much.
