Rene this is not possible. Not with the scrolling text field. You could make a long text field with a window above it and move the text field behind the window. Kind of pain. :-) I suggest getting away from the scrolling text fields or try using and external program like a help wizzard program. You could put your glossary in the external program and then jump to it passing it a variable of the word. I have not successfully completed this task but it sound interesting to do. The key would be to find a help program that accepts variables. Good luck Danny Cary Rene Aube wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm working on a project with Authorware 4.0.
