Add a text area to a form
1. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design.
2. Click in the form where you want to place the text area. If you are inserting a form field but have not already created a form, Microsoft FrontPage automatically creates a form area and inserts the field inside that form area. The form area appears as a dashed line when you are editing the page.
3. On the Insert menu, point to Form, and then click Text Area.
4. Type the label for the text area directly on the form
