I KNOW I can set limits on the number of characters. However, I have some
free-flow text fields and need to set limits so that the overall size of the
field doesn't expand (beyond a certain number of lines).
I'm using the legacy text because I"m worried that many uers of the form
will have a pre-2007 version of Word and wouldn't be able to open a form
created sole with Word 2007.

In order to prevent users from having compatibility issues with New Office
2007 files you can export your current 2007 document to a 2003 Word Document
by changing the save as "file type" when saving a new document in your
computer.

Hope this information helps,
Vicente Tulliano

Place the form field within a table cell whose dimensions are fixed.
