How do you add to the number of characters held within a text area

[LastÎ…Twilite]

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?

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Huh? You can put a heck of a lot more than 100 characters.

Silly question - Have you tried making your text box larger?

 

[LastÎ…Twilite]

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

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's different.

Can't help you there. Don't use Publisher for my website. I use FrontPage.

Are you meaning to ask about character count limitations of the text area
"form control"? 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. Visit

See if this is what you want to do:

Create a text box, select Format, AutoFit Text, Best Fit or Shrink Text On
Overflow.

Turns out he didn't want a "text box", he was making an online form.

 

[Don Schmidt]

OK

May success fall upon him.
