Use the html object, you can set wishes on the left below part of that object.
But you need to add html code in that box. there should some site's on internet that can make from a text an html code. (google it)

i will give that a go.
Hello William
As you have v 14, you could make your texts in a normal textbox on a page where you specify "Create without template".
Then you could make a normal page where you want the text to show up, and on this page make an iframe, in which you show the text-page.
Then you can see the text by scrolling, without the page scrolls.
You can make it with or without the scrollbar.
I have an example here : http://www.energifremtiden.dk/c4d/phoenix-test.html
And an example without scrollbars here : http://www.energifremtiden.dk/c4d/page-132.html
Doing it this way it should be easy to maintain the text.
Another way to have much text on the same page without page-scroll, is to use the text-tabs.
Kind regards

Hi Andre,
Please explain what this means.
I have no idea.
I forgot to tell - the examples is NOT made on a responsive site.
I have an example of an iframe that is made on a responsive site here : http://calendarforum.dk/live-calendar-3.html
This just to tell that it could be a good idea to make the iframe responsive using % and not px. ( and also the content should be responsive )
Kind regards

Myron,
I mean the scrollbar option to set on or off, and the height of the html box and auto height option.
In the HTML object it is way below on the left and it is often not noteticed by users, that's why I usually write it when the HTML box comes up in a post.
