Default Autosizing Text Box (and more)

When I set the autosize=true on a text box I'm using, it immediately changes
the aspect ratio of the box.
I want the box to maintain its width and just extend its height. What seems
to be happening is that it is changing the default width to something
unuseably wide and adjusting the height as well if necessary.
Also, is it possible to "associate" (for want of a better word) the text box
with a picture so that as the size of the box changes, so does the picture.
What I'm trying to do is have a coloured background (the colour may vary
depending on circumstances) with the text over the top of it that expands and
contracts depending on how much text is entered.

I'm not too hot on VB (think novice!) but am comfortable with most other
areas of XL.

TIA
