I absolutely cannot figure out how to insert a scrolling bar in a Word 97 document (to make it an html document). Does anyone know of a site that can show me how to do this, or tell me how to do it? The manual isn't very explanatory.

Im not quite sure I understand what your wanting. Are you wanting the scroll bar to appear in word? Or you want the scroll bar to show in an html doc, but you are creating the html doc from word? Please clarify! The easiest way to do html is go to a site that you like or see something that you think would look good on your html doc and view its source, which you will find on your menu in the browser explorer or netscape and use copy and paste commands. Easy peasy. Need more help post back

Is this what you are looking for? It's a registry entry I got from a previous post on this site, which lets you scroll down a Word document. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Word\Options\LiveScrolling="1"

If all text will fit in the window (word or html) there will be no scrolling bar. If there is more text than will fit in the window, a scroll bar will appear automatically (word or html.)

If all your text fits in the window and you want to force a scrollbar to appear anyway, put some empty carriage returns at the bottom of your text (press the enter key a few times.) Whether a scrollbar appears when someone is viewing your page on another computer will depend on the size of his/her monitor and the screen resolution setting.

I apologize, I wasn't very clear. I am using Word 97 (which does have scroll bars) to make an html document. What I was hoping to do was to use 2 frames or text boxes with a scroll bar in one of them, that way I could scroll one box (or frame) without having the whole page move. I see where I have the option to insert a scroll bar, but I just can't get it to work inside of a frame or box.

You might have an easier time of it by inserting the html code directly in your document. Try this link: Writing HTML: A tutorial for creating Web Pages http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/index.html This tutorial can be downloaded in one zip package if you want it for offline reference. Also, the Netscape HTML 4.0 Tag Reference can be found in several places on the web and can also be downloaded. In either of the above, look up 'forms' (those are the tags for creating edit boxes, push buttons etc.) Hope this helps.
