That answer was the perfect length.

Thank you very much for clearing that up for me!

Hi Michael,

Long question for a very short answer : no, LO can not do this with a form.

You can have a form with formatted input and a scrollbar, but the
formatted input is not saved to the underlying db, and the form control
window doesn't automatically expand if the user types in more detail
than the visible space made available by the control.

I seem to recall that a bug request for such automatic control size
adaptation has not yet been resolved.

LO doesn't provide any form control that I know of which overflows
automatically onto a next page of a form. The history of LO, going back
to OpenOffice.org and StarOffice, never had form controls that allowed
this behaviour. It has never been developed.
