Text Boxes

I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer.
 
I have two questions.
1. I am trying to make a form that allows you to enter a date in one text box and I would like the second text box to automatically enter a persons age from that date.
2. I am copying an existing form that requires you to enter text into one location and if you run out of space you have to continue with the parpgraph on a seperate sheet. How can I set up text boxes so that if you run out of space to type in one text box the rest of the text will automatically go to the next text box.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.0, Windows

1. Read this series of articles. It uses AcroForms, but all the concepts are the same in LiveCycle forms

2. Since you are using LiveCycle forms you can use a dynamic text box.
