Text Box

[Tyler]

I would like to create a text box that only allows 3200 words. Is it possible
to create limits within a text box that will only allow this many characters?

The easy way would be to create a form. unfortunately you can not include
form fields inside a text box, so you will have to use a table - this would
work better anyway, and you can be extremely creative with tables to force
the text to move in certain directions.

Remember the form needs to be "protected" or lock for it to work.

Oh, on re-reading you might also need to include some VBA.

In t he form you can limit the number of characters, not necessarialy the
number of words. Your macro would be an on exit - word count, which would
count the number of word after someone leave that form field.

Try doing some searches on the web for similar macros for word forms.

Good Luck.
