How do I creat a scrollable box in word doc?
I am trying to create something like a form in word for my client to type in
feedback on a project we're working on and would like to create something much like this box. Basically a scrollable box. Any ideas? Thank you in advance |

Basically a scrollable box. Any ideas? Thank you in advance This should of course be done in a template, on which new documents of this type will be based. Display the Control Toolbox toolbar (View Toolbars Control Toolbox). Click the Text Box button, which places a text box in the template at the cursor. Drag the box to the desired size. Now click the Properties button on the toolbar. Set the Multiline property to True, and set the Scrollbars property to 2 - fmScrollBarsVertical. Also set the EnterKeyBehavior property to True if you want the client to be able to start a new line by pressing Enter. Close the Properties dialog. Click the Design Mode button on the toolbar to turn it off, and save the template. The scrollbar will appear only when there's more text in the box than will fit without scrolling. Caveat: The template should be stored in the client's template folder (the one named as the User Templates folder in Tools Options File Locations). In Tools Macro Security, on the Trusted Publishers tab, the "Trust all installed add-ins and templates" box should be checked. If either of these conditions isn't met, documents based on the template will either open in Design Mode (if the security level is High) or pop up a warning dialog asking whether to enable macros (if the level is Medium). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

This sounds like a job for the reviewing tools, which allow the insertion of
comments and changes in a document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Viviane wrote: I am trying to create something like a form in word for my client to type in feedback on a project we're working on and would like to create something much like this box.
