Thanks so much. That was very simple. Could I have found this in the help file? I searched under scrollbars and got the link for the external scrollbar but nothing mentioning the internal text field scroll bar.

The scrollbar doesn't have a value in itself, when placed in a text document. You could assing a macro to it's scroll event, and then do there whatever you want. However, if it's only about scrolling a text field: Just open the property browser for the text field, and change the "Scrollbars" property to e.g. "Vertical", to use the built-in scrollbars.
