Hi All,

Is it possible to create a text box in such a way that it's size changes according to the text present in the text box.

Thanks,

Asma

only with a macro. Depending on length of text, you can use a macro to define width and height.

But I would not recommend that. What drives this need?

instead of macro, you can have two text objects.

show and hide them as per you requirement.

The size to Data option is disabled for a text box.

Size to data will not work for text objects.

There is an excel file in which user enters text. The text entered in the excel is displayed inside the text object. At times, when the text is very long, it does not fit automatically in the text box. There should be a text box whose size changes according to the text present in the text box.

Just assign it as much space as you have available. if it does not fit, create a button that shows a hidden gigantic text box to cover all the screen
