Hi,

I have converted a pdf document into a form. Now, I want to covert 7 rows into one paragrah or a single table such as when I am typing I automatically go into the second row and if Iam typing more material then from he end of the last row the text starts to become smaller in the entire paragraph to make room for more text?

Thanks.

Use a multiline text field with the font size set to Auto and the "Scroll long text" option not selected.

thanks for the reply George. But its not happening. What I have is a Word Form, scanned to PDF, then I ade a form from there.
Then I have a table in this format:

FINDINGS/NOTES
(Row1)
(Row2)
(Row3)
(Row4)
(Row5)

After Row 5 there is immediately another table. So what I have is a text field in Row 1, titled Row 1, and then I have removed the other text fields from the four other rows. I did select the options in Row 1 text field the way you suggested but it just stopped at the end of Row 1. Any suggestions??

You may need to extend the size of the text block to fill the area that was previously used by 5 rows. Then check the text box properties in the field edit mode to set the box to multiline. In AA9, the menu appears as
This would apply to a text field shaped similar to what is shown below:
