Modify the height of multi-line column in Infopath 2010

In Infopath forms, we can set the height of a multi-line column to be fixed or dynamic.

In case if the height is fixed(which is the deafult option), if there are more number of lines than that can be accomodated, a scroll would appear on the text box. This reduces the readability of the content for the user. To rectify the issue,the height can be set as auto(i.e., height would vary depending on the content) or a constant fixed value as per the requirement.

Follow the below given steps to do the same.

• Open the edit form in InfoPath designer.
• Select the multiline column and then Right click on Text Box Properties.
• In the properties window that opens, click on the Tab Size.
• To set the height as auto, click on the align button available at the end
• To make the height to be fixed, make the changes in the Size section for the height property .
• Click OK to save the changes and then save and publish the form for the changes to be visible to the user.

How to link to Download a copy option in Office 365/SharePoint 2013

At times it is required to have the option to save a copy of a document uploaded in SharePoint document library, in a page or a webpart. The url to get the save option for a doc is - http:// site /_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl= url-of-document-in-library Change the bold text with the actual url, i.e., with the site url and the url to the doc in the doc library. For example, if the site is www.contso.com and the doc "Test" is uploaded in SiteAssets library, the url to save a copy would be - http://contso.com/_layouts/download.aspx?SourceUrl=http://contso.com/SiteAssets/Test.docx
