How do I set ActiveX text box width and have it save and then allow text to fill and wrap to new lines within the desired ActiveX text box width (Example, at “480”)? Visually it looks great in Developer Design Mode, as well as in MS Word mode. Save as a .dotx, open template and save as unique word docx, go to type in ActiveX text box and it snaps back to a 6.35 width and the type fills into an increased depth. What am I missing?
You can set the TextBox width using .Width Property. Example
Save the file as .dotm to save with Macros.
Thanks
