Can't copy or paste text into text field

Hi there,

I'm new to the program and community and could really use some help/advice! I created a fillable form in Adobe Designer. Users want to paste a chunk of text from word into a text field but the paste (or copy, for that matter) options don't show up. Shortcuts don't work either. Is there any way I can enable these functions?

Thanks so much for your time

I just tried this and it worked. Here is how I have my text field formatted. I have it set to allow multiple lines in the Object tab Field. Then I selected "Expand to Fit" in the Height checkbox under the Layout tab. I then saved my form as an "Adobe Dynamic XML Form:" in the Save as Type box. Opened it in both Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro and pasted (Control V) a paragraph of text that I took from a Word (Control C) document. All the text pasted just fine and the box expanded to accept it all.

Hope that helps.
