[Pro] Scroll bar on a text box

Hi all, First post for me.

I am not sure of the correct terminology to search for this answer on the forums so please forgive me if this has been asked before.

I want to add a text box on my site which I can keep adding too, similar to a blog. As the text grows I would like to have a scroll set on the text box to enable me to scroll up and down the text when needed. So my questions are as follows:-

  1. What is the best way of adding/creating this text box with a scroll.

  2. Will I be limited as to how much text I will be able to add to this box.

Thanks in advance for any replys.

With your HTML container selected look in the inspector - reduce the container height to your desired size and set Overflow to Scroll

Hi David.

Thanks for the reply.
I have made a HTML box but cant see in the inspector an option to set the overflow to scroll, what type of HTML box should I be making please? Would it be a menu box or a text area?

Thanks again.

Your HTML box (select HTML Item (default) from the toolbar and then draw on the page) - has to be a layered item (Green bounding box) rather than a non layered item that has a Blue one.
