wraping text

[Kevin]

I want to create a form. The middle of the form will have a section for coments. I tried to use a table because I want about 10 lines for this section, but I can't get the text to wrap to the next line within the table. Please help.

This is not the way tables work. Just make one big (or auto height) cell and
let the text wrap inside it.

Thank you for your response. Ok, but I want it to look like a paper form you would fill out by hand with lines and such. Is this possible?? Can there be lines on the screen while I type and have the text wrap??

It remains a mystery to me why so many users want to do this. Are you going
to use a script font in the text boxes, too, so it will look like users have
filled out the form by hand? The *only* reason for having such lines in
forms is to make it easier to fill them out by hand (the lines are a
nuisance even for typewriters, especially if they're not properly spaced).
If you insist on doing this, you will have to use drawing lines. This is
very fiddly but can be done.
