Question : Legacy Tools in Word 2007 Question

I have a two maybe more part question. I am creating a form in Word 2007. And I have been messing around with the legacy tools. I am basically trying to make a "Comments" box on my form and have tried using the "text box" tool in legacy tools. what I need it to do is after I resize the box I need it so that when the person reaches the end of the box it won't allow them to tyoe any longer. Instead right now it will allow the user to keep typeing and what it will do depending on which tool I use is either the box will expand or it will alow the user to keep typing. but if you expand the box you will see what they kept typing. I tried going into the properties and change the max length, but depending on which words are type will determine where it will stop them from in the box sometimes there is alot of space left and sometimes they will type to much and it will go off into part of the box you can't see.

Apparently it's IE8 causing the problems with being able to upload a file. This file uses a single text field in a cell with the maximum length of the cell set for 350 characters.
