Set the width of a Input textbox

Hi all,
I am trying to create a form for user to input their information. But I have difficulty in setting the width of the input textbox. If I set the width inside the property window, it make the text input become strange.
Hope someone can help me, Thz.

Hi catalas,

I had this problem a while back. Don’t set the width or height in the property window. This in fact does skew the text.

The best thing to do is make a new text box. Select the font and font size you want. Double click on the text box like you are going to type in it and then grab the box at the upper right and drag until the box is the desired size.

Three more things to remember:

  1. Set your text box type to input
  2. Embed your text by pushing character button (I believe)
  3. Use the properties window to set your x and y values to whole number values.

If you don’t do Number 2 and 3 your text may still be blurry or distorted.
