Forgive the newbie,
I downloaded trial Adobe 8 with LiveCycle and am trying to figure out how to have a text field automatically expand into a new page if there the text does not fit. I have checked Allow Multiple LInes and Expand to Fit on layout Tab in LiveCycle but the text box does not change in size, rather provides scroll bar when text exceeds size.
 
Thanks!

You question is really beyond the scope of this forum. The correct tool is Adobe LiveCycle Designer and you need to create a subform that dynamically expands to accommodate user data and scrolls pages.

You can find a wealth of help information by visiting the Help menu commands for local files installed with Designer and open Adobe's LiveCycle Designer web page. Poke around the Help menu commands and look at the sample files in the Designer folder installed on your hard drive.

If you're new to Designer, your task is not a simple one and you should prepare to spend a lot of time reviewing the Help documents to get up to speed.
