Hey Deb,

You can edit the template.xml file directly if you extract the form files. Try this:

1. Select Extract Form Files from the File menu
2. Select a folder and extract them
3. Browse to that folder
4. Double-click template.xml to open it in InfoPath
5. Make your edits to the question fields using normal InfoPath UI.
6. Save the template.xml, right-click manifest.xsf and select Design, publish the form somewhere to package it back as an XSN.

Hope this helps!

They are questions the users must answer. The question text itself has to be a non-editable data value so it gets submitted with the form. The automatic sizing you're talking about has to do with form fill-out. I'm talking about form design.

The 'display' tab in the properties of text boxs has options to allow paragraph breaks and to control how the box expands or scrolls

I have never used XHMTL fields before but I guess they work similar

Text Box with Default Values

I'm having a serious lapse in logic. I need to create a form that is a questionnaire. The question text itself needs to be saved as data elements in the form. The questions can be an entire paragraph. How do you do that? I created an XHTML field and set its default value to the question text, but that is very cumbersome from "default value" in the field's properties as this is a single line field that you have to scroll from left to right. Is there another way to do this?
