Adding scroll bars to fields
Add a vertical scroll bar to any field on your layout (except a container,
summary, or repeating field), to see more data than fits in the field.
1. In Layout mode, select a field, and then choose Field Format from the
Format menu.
2. In the Field Format dialog box, click Standard field.
3. Select Include vertical scroll bar, and then click OK.
Scroll bars are always displayed if you set the field borders option for the
right side of the field. Otherwise, they display only when you tab into the
field. See “Adding borders, fill, and baselines to fields” on page 3-72.
