    Multiline textbox not fully shown in e-mail

    In an online form, I've created a multiline textbox that sends an e-mail to my address.

    If the text is too long, it shows a scrollbar. In my email, only the first part of the text is shown (size of the textbox). Though the fully text is send because when I edit the email and make the textbox bigger, the other lines appear.

     How can I solve this problem?

     Thx

    Hi,

    Can you try it by using below steps.

    1. open text box Properties and switch to Display tab.
    2. Select "Expand to show all text" option in the "Scrolling" dropdown.

     Yes, than's indeed a solution.

     But I don't want my textbox getting bigger and bigger.

    Another (bad) solution is to click "edit message" in outlook and make the box manually bigger.

    Anybody other ideas?

    Do you not want the text box to get wider and wider? Or thicker?

    • If you Wrap Text and "Expand to show all text", then it expands down (becomes thicker).
    • In the size tab you can enter a Width of "Auto" to make the text box expand to become wider and wider.

    Those are the two options I see: thicker or wider. Your choice. :-)
