    Open document, Select Prepare Form from Tools > double click on the text field > a dialog box pops up > Options Tab > select Multi-line, deselect Scroll long text.

    This does not work. I found Prepare Form. When I double click on the TEXT FIELD, nothing really happens except formatting junk I don't understand, NOTHING says Options, multi-line, scroll or anything like it. I cannot get this to work
