MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / February 2005How do you add to the number of characters held within a text area
In the help section for text areas it says to put what ever text you want in it into the default area when you open the text area properties. But it only allows so much (about 100 characters). How do you change that? Or do you have to do it manually? Huh? You can put a heck of a lot more than 100 characters. Silly question - Have you tried making your text box larger?

I have tried making it bigger, hoping it was something liek that... it allows, pardon, 250 characters including spaces. I'm trying to fit around 1500 so not nearly enough. Now to be clear, I'm not talking about a text box, I'm working with a text area that can be used for viewers to type their own comments into. I'm trying to use it to post html code. Or is there some other way of doing this that I've totally missed? Thanks for the reply :) > Huh?

Don't use Publisher for my website. I use FrontPage.

If so then first off that is what you should have explicitly stated. The form controls in Publisher are pre-built components hence the term "control" that will have built in limitations. Those are not modifable. To achieve more functionality with form programming you would have to move to an actual web programming development environment, such as ASP.Net.

See if this is what you want to do: Create a text box, select Format, AutoFit Text, Best Fit or Shrink Text On Overflow.
