Character limits in Designer 7.0

We are having some difficulties in getting the Adobe 8.0 upgrade applied so whilst I have access to 8 and all its useful features the forms open in 7.0 so I lose the functions that make the forms easier.

More specifically the option to limit the length of text to the size of the visible field. Is there ANY way that I can replicate this in 7.0 maybe using a script of some description or will it be a matter of going through each field and assigning a character limit separately.

Your help, as ever, is appreciated.

Update

I've compared the xml for a box with the 'limit to visible' area selected and it seems that the only difference is an attribute hScrollPolicy="off".

Sadly adding this to a form in 7.0 doesn't seem to work.
