Displaying Field contents in a locked field

[mehronx]

I'd like to have two layouts for a record. One edit layout and one view layout. In the view layout, a user cannot change the contents, only view them. However, I've run into the problem that one cannot scroll in a locked field. Is there a way to display the contents without cutting off exess text?

In your view layout, you can display a calculated field instead. The calc would be:

Display Field = Original Field

The user will be able to scroll through a calc field and copy information from it, but because it is a calc, they can't edit it.
