Text Areas in Pub 2002

[Teri]

I would like to add a text area with a scroll bar that will allow viewers to see a document longer than will fit on my webpage. It looks much like a text area form control, but it seems that the text area form control is designed for user input, not display

Is there a way to do this in Publisher 2002?

you copy/paste the code in an html code frag.

Thank you for your help. That worked fine.

One other question. Forgive me if these seem elementary. I am very new at this

When I include my text in the code fragment, I lose all paragraphing, blank lines, and bolded words. It just dumps it into the text area in a big lump. Is there a way to correct that?

Everything in a fragment is html code. Hence it's name.
If you put text into the fragment then you need to write the html to format
it.
The code in a frag is a totally separate entity from the Publisher made
code.
How to write html is off topic for this forum but I can refer you to plenty
of html resources at
