need hlp with a textbox

[Guest]

Hi everyone!!

I created a form via Word and on that form i created a textbox.
I then proceeded to copy some text in it, so that when this for is called
out, it looks like a litle hlp file window.

My problem is that now that have copied some text in it, the focus is now at
the botom of that text box, where i can see it, unless i use the scroll bars
to move around.

How to i move the cursor back to the begining of my text box?
Everytime i call it, it moves to the botom of my text and to see the rest i
need to scroll bck up...

Hope this makes sence...

I just want focus inside this text box to start at the begining, not the end.

Any hlp please!!

You need to give us some more information, not least because there are at least
three things in Word that are called "text boxes"

1. Which version of Word do you have

2. What toolbar did you use to create your form

3. More specifically, exactly which tool did you use to make the text box

4. Why wouldn't you make the text box larger, so that all the text is visible

5. If it turns out they'd be appropriate, how would you feel about using macros
to help solve the problem

2.Duno, the document as already been done by someone else
3.Not sure again, im doing traduction work on this document
4.Because the textbox in question is on a litle window that when called
will be not to big, its like a help window.
5.I dont mind using macros for this.
