Scroll bars on cells

I have a cell object that is being populated by a cell in a hidden table. This data is a free text field from a database and can be quite large with lots of comments. Is there a way so that this cell object could be scrollable? Or another solution? Since it appears text objects can not be dynamically populated that won't work.

Cory,
You can use the formula
[OBJ3] := [OBJ4]
where [OBJ3] is a text box object and [OBJ4] is your cell object, in the After update event of your cell object.
Thank you, I forgot about the :=, haven't used that in awhile. However that still didn't quite give me what I needed. The text object is populated but still no scroll bars for lenghty text.
Yuo have to click on the text object

Ah OK, thank you. That will work.
Correction: this works in the developer but after publishing, the client side can not click on the text box to open the scroll bars. But as I said, it does work in the developer.
works fine, for me, using 7.5.4 arcplan
using IE10
Also have 7.5.4 but tried it with IE 7 and 8. Also tried Chrome for kicks. No scroll bar in any. Perhaps a java issue?
Are you certain there is enough text to make a scroll bar appear?
I'm using java 1.7 build 21
I have updated my java to build 1.7.0_25-b17. No change. When I click on the text box object, the cursor does not get placed into the box and I don't get scroll bars. However it works fine in the designer.
is it possible to attach the published app folder (zipped) to here?
Could I email it to you instead?
yes
Normally adding the following scrollbar parameter to the html start page should produce a scroll bar in text objects (not cell objects):
<param name="TextScrollBars" value="1">
If this does not work, please try to copy your text to a new text object and try again.
