Scrolling field to view but not modify

[jwren]

I am setting up a database for our editor. Container field will hold word or pdf docs with their content duplicted into another field so that they can be searched for keywords. Problem is I do not want the user to modify the text in this field - only search and read - but as they can contain large quantities of text the user needs to have access to the scroll bar to read all of the content. Any solutions out there?

Hi, jwren! Create one calc field which=YourTextfield, and show it in layout, instead YourTextField.
