Default Limiting Text String Length

How can I limit the length of a text string in a standard shape?

Or, if that's not possible...

How can I prevent text from appearing outside of the shape? I can GUARD the
size of the shape so that a long text string doesn't change it's size, but
the extra text shows up outside of the shapes boudaries.

You can limit the width by setting the Text Transform section cell
TxtWidth = Width
I don't know a way to limit the height as well though.
