If I set my text box on the slide where the user's entry is to appear to the full size I have allotted for the entry; the text fits in although the font size selected does not register.

The top example shows how I initially set it up and the results that are achieve.  (the font is resized to fit the box created)

The bottom example shows the results after I took the same text box, added a bunch of "enters" after the text variable name.  (the font entry flows well, but the font size is slightly smaller than selected.

At least it's a bit of a work-around for now.
