You should be able to set the width and height parameters of a textarea element so that no scrollbars are displayed. Hope this helps.

Thanks it works but seems a little sloppy for the amount of text I have. Are there any other methods? I looked into <textarea> but the scroll bars are ugly.

You can allow users to copy text in the task pane when you place your text into read-only input elements. Remove the borders to make it look like plain text. Example:

<input type="text" readonly="true" value="This is a test" style="border:none"/>

Yep that's what I'm trying to do. I am unable to select the text from my custom task bar. I'm sure I could write code to create a button to "Copy to Clipboard" but would be more work for our users to delete the parts they don't want.

I don't see why this wouldn't be available via the usual means (ctrl+c, ctrl+v). Are you trying to add a "Copy to Clipboard" button? I'm not sure how to do this but I'm sure there is a JavaScript example out there that shows how this can be done.

I'm using the Task Pane Custom help code found in the tutorials section. I am wondering if it is possible to make it so the user can copy information from the menu and paste it in their form?
