Default One text box for multiple cells

I am automating a worksheet that has been meant to fill in by hand.
The worksheet was formatted with sections that are about 9 columns
wide and 5 rows high. The columns are merged so that it is like 5
long cells. Each with bottom borders. (Makes it look like lined
paper) This section is for writing in comments. How can I create a
userform that will insert text into this space. Can I have a text box
that will input text into the cell until it is full then move down to
the next cell? How about having several text boxes on a form and as
the user types once it reaches a predefined limit it jumps down to the
next box? Let me know what other information I can give to help.
This one has me stumped.

Place a Textbox on a userform
Set in the Tetxbox properties the MAX Length of charaters
place a button on the userform to set for eg.:

sheet1.range("A1:I5").value = textbox1.value

You may be able to also add in the Textbox code some thing like:
If textbox1.maxlength =80 then
textbox2.setfocus
end if

To take the user from one textbox(when full) to the next
