That's what happens if you use a multiline field as you described yourself: textField.setOptions(TextField.MULTILINE); The following classroom example shows different options: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/browse/?page=example&id=331 http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/results/classroom/filmfestival/movies22.pdf Where it says "TYPE," the font size is adapted to the content. Where it says "N° 0000000", the font size is fixed and text that doesn't fit, disapears. Where it says "Name", the text is distributed over different lines. This form is filled programmatically in this example: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/browse/?page=example&id=332 It shows the desired behavior. You can test it using your own values here: http://itext.ugent.be/articles/filmfestival/index.php?page=3 Fill in a name that takes more than one line, and it will be split automatically too. > Now it just continues to go on beyond the > border. That's what happens with the "N° 0000000" field in the example; but not with the "Name" field. > The field also needs to be read programmatically.

At least that's what I see when I experiment with the online example entering longer and shorter sentences for the "Name." -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
