Hi everyone! I have been searching all over for answers, and there seems to be none. I have a data entry "Comments" field and I want the field to expand when the text goes over the size of the field. Is there ANY possible way? I do not want to make a huge 'Comments' field and use the slide function for printing. I want the field to expand as the text goes. I was thinking there might be a solution using some calculation, script trigger, or conditional formatting. I haven't figured it out yet.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

for screen use you can add a scroll bar to the text field then the user can scroll down - if you are referring to printing you will need to explore a different option - you can stretch the field as long as you think you need and have it slide up / but you can't do the inverse and expand to encompass largest content.
