How do I put a "Rich" text box in Publisher?

[I have a good question]

I am using Publisher 2007 and there seems to be no way to put a "Rich" text
box in my form. Why has this very significant feature been left out of
Publisher, especially as Front Page has been discontinued.... Is there a way
this can be done?

I am not sure what you mean by a "rich text box", but Publisher 2003 could
produce both "filtered" and "rich" or heavy code which was filled with
Office tags and allowed the user to "round trip" the code. Publisher 2007
produces only filtered code. Is this what you are talking about?

By Rich text box I mean one with scroll bars as I want to use one text box
and not five text boxes with overflow.

<div style="width: 190px;height:
250px;overflow:-moz-scrollbars-vertical;overflow-y:auto;">
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
<p>text here! text here! text here! text here!</p>
</div>

Using the html fragment option in publisher, enter the above code and your
text
Select the width and height of the box you want to show

Thanks Spike,
I tried this and I get the text box but still no scroll bars......

 

[Spike]

The only thing I can think of is that the text you have in there will fit
and does not overflow
I inserted the code shown and get a vertical bar to display the overflow
text

Brilliant! Thanks Spike - I finally figured out what I was doing wrong when
trying to change the width and height. It works beautifully and just what I
needed!
