Actually there was a post on something similar to this. We have
a report that each page will fill more than can be displayed on
the screen. We want to stuff each page into a memo to make a
very easy search engine which we could link the actual data to
these printed pages. The reports were not originally generated
by us and rather than re-generate these reports which are users
are accustomed to, we decided to try this method. We also wanted
to incorporate the ability to change the font size interactively.
The only problem was that we could not get the scrollbars to
stick, no matter what we tried. They would eventually dissapear
We implemented something kludgey with arrows instead of scroll
bars. It works, but ... Let me check on that post about scroll
bars. That might do the trick. If only we could convince
management to go to WIN95 or WindowsNT.
