Scope

Purpose

The Control for an Input Text macro is treated as a single line. If the user types more text than can be visibly seen into the text box, the text scrolls horizontally. If the Multi Line Text Field property is selected, then the field is treated as a text box, and multiple lines of text can be entered, with the user's input wrapping within the bounds of the control. Assuming the Confirm with Enter property is not selected, the user can also press Enter to start a new line - although there is no way to indicate this in the Input Text property so you need to add suitable instructions into the Practice Text.
