There are two ways to do such thing.

1- You could create a overflow float within your document
2- You could use the textarea tags

By the help of CSS you could easily alter the way it looks like.

For instance...

Your text....

What this will do is create you a section which has scrollbars, what you could add is ohter stylesheets as well..
Take a look at this link: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/overflow.html

Now the other way is to do this:

That is mainly used for FORMS. I presonally recommend the first technique the overflow since it is the modern and better way.

If you need anyhelp let me know. Note that by adding CSS to that tag you could alter anyhting you care to!

Take care

Yeah, yet there are format turbines the place it codes it for you based on your enter possibilities. seek Google for "myspace format generator" . P.S. i think of MySpace has there very own editor now so which you will basically use that!
