Text Box Longer Text

At times because of having a lot of elements (text box) on a form or a tab, the text box is not big enough to display the full text. I would hope that it will display the beginning of text rather than the tail end of the text. What do I have to do so that it display the beginning of the text instead to end of the text in the text box?

I experimented with this and found that if I select multiline as opposed to single line in the text setting then the display of text in the text box, after focus is removed, is from the begining and that is what I would like to have. 

Now the questions are:
Does it use more resources if you use multiline as opposed to single line? (I believe it is just display.)
How would it affect my printing data, say with mailmerge either using printstring( ) and / or wordmerge?
Are there other problems or ramifications of such multiline text boxes even though they are relatively small?
