It sounds like the text is wrapping around the button object, but it's not supposed to do that if you have text scrolling enabled.Do you have to use a button? Instead of buttons to close my text boxes, I just add a line to the top of the box, right justify the word "Close" which I underline and make blue like a hyperlink. I then add the on click; close action to the entire text box. It works great. Putting buttons in text boxes is pretty tricky. I use it for my Exit confirmation window but it's not recommended.Russ
