Text Wrap
How can I create a user-defined field that will allow me to create a box for
entering text. The text in the box should wrap and also allow for using the return key to create a new line. By just creating a text field as "new" I'm getting neither functionality.

Bring up the control's Properties dialog and set it to multiline.

This worked great. However, when I send the file and the file is forwarded
back, the text in the message box disappears. What could be causing this?

Did you click the Edit Read Page button to configure a read layout with a text box bound to the same property as the one on the compose layout?

I thought I did this correct. Not sure I understand exactly "bound to the
same property"? I created the compose layout and then selected the edit read page button. Is there another step?

Unless the text box is linked to an Outlook property, Outlook doesn't know that you want to save the data, much less where. Look on the control's Properties dialog, at the top of the Value tab.

This helped immensely thanks.
One more thing. When I print the form (or the person receiving the form prints it) how do we make it look just like the emailed form?

See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customprint.htm for various solutions to the limitation that Outlook forms don't support WYSIWYG printing. The Word template technique is the most flexible and highly recommended.
