 Created Form in Word - Irregular movement of combo boxes, text boxes on scrolling

I created my first word form containg several text boxes and combo boxes and
VBA code.

I am not satisfed with the scrolling up and down. Whenever I go up or down
the buttons and controls on the form seem to freeze until I release the
mouse button and then they go to the correct position.

I this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

Hi Jason,

From your description, I'm guessing you created your form using the Control
Toolbox. These ActiveX controls were not really made to work specifically with
Word, so Word has some problems with displaying them, as you've noticed. As
far as I know, there is nothing you can do to change this.

That's one reason I prefer to use controls from the FORMS toolbar, or present
a UserForm to get the input.
