<![CDATA[Creating a text box that scrolls continuously horizontally]]>I have the Penguin Dictionary of quotations, is there there a way of scrolling the text continuously like with the news feed but horizontally

Below is where I think it would would fit best since some quotes are quite long.

alt text

In a MS Word format the dictionary is 85 Pages at about 500000 words

Thank you very much unfortunately I don’t have the technical skills to convert or adapt any of the existing modules to do this.

The scroll window is small so in the case of longer quotes I would not be able to see the entire quote at once

I don’t think there is anything that DOES today what you ask… I was pointing to things that can provide technical content to create one

It is geared for a news feed and I don’t know how to change that to the content of my choice.

The scroll window is small so in the case of longer quotes I would not be able to see the entire quote at once.

Also The space marked in grey in unused so that would make it ideal for something like longer quotes.
