cooldaze Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 This has got to be simple, but my mind is somehow missing the necessary "search" features at the moment! I have a text field that has a lot of text in it, so I need to display a scroll for my readers. But how do I do this without giving them entry into the field itself (they could change my text!) ? Using FM7. TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 In v6, you do this by going into layout mode, and select the field. Then Go to Menu >> Format >> Field Format. The dialog box has the option to show scroll bar. HTH Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
