How to span text between table cells in a Word doc

[apagano]

I've created a Word form with several pages of a blank, two column form using
tables that is filled in by a user. Often the user's text in column 2 runs
beyond that cell in page 1 and needs to run to column 2 of page 2 and 3, etc.
The table cells are fixed height and I don't want the table cells on page 1
to break into page 2.

As it stands the user must watch as their typing gets near the end of the
cell on page 1 otherwise it disappears out of view. Is there a way I can
detect an end of cell marker and have the cursor automatically shifted to
column 2 on the next page?

I'm guessing I need some vba code to handle this problem. Can anyone offer
a suggestion on how to begin?

Insert Text boxes into the cells and then link them so that the text will
automatically flow from one to the next.

MS Word 2003 manual. Thank you kindly for your time.
