Locking a Text Field in Browse Mode

Locking a field in Layout mode is easy. How do I prevent a user from enlarging a text field? I can set the field to be of type text but I don't want the users from entering 500 lines of typed text.

Thanks.

Set the field validation to "by calculation" and check the length of the data entered into the field. If the user enters too may characters, a validation error is returned.
