Microsoft Word Page Help (Want to make a form that is one page max)

[Katz22]

I have a form made up, I want to send it out to people, it is a credit application. The thing is, is that is has to be one page long, after they have entered all of their info.

I have been getting them back where they are on 2 pages, and it takes a long time to edit them when you get so many.

Is there a way to put some kind of block at the end of the page, so that no matter what they do, the document stays at one page.

Thanks.

It's not the greatest thing in the word world, but Word has a shrink to fit feature. If you go to Print Preview there is a Shrink to Fit button on the toolbar (Probably third one from the end; in some cases fourth from the end)

I appreciate the help. Is there anyway to embed this into the document, so that its automatic?

Again, thanks for your help.

You probably need a macro similar to:

Private Sub Document_Close()

ActiveDocument.PrintPreview
ActiveDocument.FitToPages
ActiveDocument.ClosePrintPreview

End Sub

But, don't take my "Word" for it. Post in Forum 707 to get a better answer.

If you have created a form using fillin field, you can fix the maximum number of characters per field. ALternatively, you could use a table cell and make its size EXACT. But it all depends on how you created your form.
