Hello,
I created a form that has dropdown lists (which works) but also text areas to fill in, and that’s where I have an issue.
I would like the size of the text area not to exceed the limits of the frame I created, but when I type text and reach the bottom of the frame, it expands by one line each time, completely changing my layout that I wanted to be fixed.
I tried to set a maximum number of characters for the text field used, but if the user hits enter, they quickly reach the bottom of the frame and change its size...
Any idea?
Thank you.

Hello
What version of Word?
Assuming you are using the protected form, there can only be one line break allowed.
To work around this, insert the form field into a table cell with a fixed height (properties / row / fixed height)

It's 2010.
Thanks for the info, I set fixed-height frames, it stabilizes my document formatting even though virtually we can still continue typing "under" the frame, but we can no longer see what we're typing.
