Can anybody tell me how to make a field automatically resize to the amount of text i type in it. For example, when i type in a field "you have two apples" and i show it in the browse option it is one line but when i type "you have two apples and you have two eggs" i want to see two lines instead of one very long line and i want the fields underneath it to slide down.

you can only define field size (as static value) in layout mode.

Unfortunately, there are only a couple of things that can be done.

Make the field larger than you need it, so that it accommodates the largest number of lines, or Put a Scroll Bar on it

It is different in Preview Mode, if the field is larger then needed, you can have it "Slide Up",

I am a newbie, and I am having the same problem. I have a field that I am trying to type 2 pages of text into. I don't mind using the scroll bar function when typing the text into, but when I print it out, the text gets cut off when it goes to the 2nd page. Is there any way to remedy this?

Try using a merge field on a new layout used only for printing.
