Automatically create second page when printing PDF if the length of text in text box exceeds available space

A bit of background -- I am using VBA to allow users to save a selection of sheets in the workbook directly to PDF so automation is necessary for what I’m doing.

The screenshot I have attached shows one of the sheets that will be printed to PDF when the user presses a button elsewhere in the sheet. Currently, the user can fill in their ‘report details’ inside of a text box (at the bottom of the page) that I have sized to fit onto a single A4 piece of paper. The issue is that if the user wants to create a larger report and create additional ‘lines’ of text that exceed the pre-determined size of the text box, the text does not roll over onto a second page. It simply does not get displayed anywhere when the PDF is printed via VBA.

Is there any way (with standard text boxes, or active x forms) to automatically have the additional text that does not fit inside of the box on a second page simply roll over to a second page? I assume this would just involve using some sort of page break, but I’m really not sure how to accomplish this!

This is more of a strategy question. Does anyone have any suggestions that I can try to achieve my functionality goal?

Thanks so much in advance.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
