I would like to add a scrollbar to a template that I have developed in MS
Word. To keep the template to one page I would like to add a scroll bar to a
textbox (or any other drawing box). Is this possible?

Thanks.

You could probably do this with a Textbox from the CONTROLS TOOLBOX. Set the
Scrollbars property for the control to the type of scrollbars you want. You need
to be aware, however, that this will activate the portion of the document
structure that triggers macro security.

Another approach you might consider would be to place a FRAME on the page (Forms
toolbar) then edit the document in the NORMAL view. It would still be only a
page long, but the entire text would only be visible in the Normal view.
