The following is an example of a text box:
Text boxes are areas into which you can type information. The Left and Right arrow keys can be used to move the insertion point in the text box. The Ctrl Right and Left arrow key combinations can be used to move the insertion point to the next and prior word in the text box. The Home and End keys can be used to move the insertion point to the beginning and end of the text box.
If the field for the text box is a large field the text box may be configured to enable scrolling and an Expanded Edit icon appears adjacent to it.
Additional capabilities are provided for display and editing data in text boxes configured this way.
