Use the Static Text control to display labels, descriptions, explanations, or instructions. The Control Attribute box will let you type an endless amount of information into the text box. However, its display capability is limited by the defined coordinates (bounding rectangle).

If you want to display text, greater than approximately 150 characters, you should simply create several Static Text fields. Otherwise, you could receive the error: 3101:Substituted line too long (>2048 Characters)
