| The Text Block | A text block allows the user to
write a response in a larger space. Text blocks are useful for short answer responses. A text block can hold up to 32,700 characters. Scroll bars will appear in the text block if they are needed. |

| To add a text box to your web page using FrontPage 98, you can choose Insert, Form Field, Scrolling Text Box from the main menu. | ||
 |

| You can also use the Scrolling Text Box button on the Forms toolbar. |
|
|
| 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. |
