Text Box Scroll Question....Again!

HELP...again. I've been wrestling with this for a bit now...and I'm gettin'
nowhere. I've entered the HTML code from the recommended site that our MS
MVP DB gave in another thread...But, I'm not gettin' anywhere.

It's not doing anything. What am I doing wrong? It's just dropping the code
into a text box. Is the development of a text scroll box within a site just
stretching the limits of the Publisher program a bit too far? I hope not,
because I know nothing about HTML, and I really like working in Publisher.

I really don't want to run the text down the page. It just goes on too long.

TIA for any help sent my way.

Blue Esq.

Instead of dropping the code onto the work area in the pub file, do an
Insert, HTML code fragment and drop the code into the box that appears.

Don,

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I did that. I copied the HTML code that was
provided via the Google search from DB (CSS), and dropped it into the HTML
fragment drop box. Howewer, that HTML code did not provided a text box scroll
on the screen when it hit publisher. It just provided some text.

Any idea where I can grab the code to provide me with a text box that will
scroll? I want a 5" wide X 3" long text box that scrolls down.

Any other suggestions?

TIA to all who reply.
