Forms: Create Text Blocks

The Text Block	A scrolling text box allows the user to write a response in a larger space. Scrolling text boxes are useful for short answer responses. A scrolling text box can hold up to 32,700 characters. Scroll bars will appear in the text box if they are needed.
Example	Why are you taking this class?
	Why are you taking this class?
	To add a scrolling text box to your web page using FrontPage 2000, choose Insert, Form, Scrolling Text Box from the menu bar.

	To specify the properties of the text block, highlight it. Choose Edit, Form Field Properties from the main menu or right click on the text block itself. The Scrolling Text Box Properties dialog box will appear.

	In the Name text box, enter a name identifying the type of information being gathered in the text block. In my example above the name might be why. If you wish text to appear in the text block, enter that text in the Initial Value text block. Adjust the width of the text block and the number of lines that appear on the screen if you wish. Set the Tab order. The tab order is the order in which users of your form will move through the form by clicking on the Tab key. Click on OK.
