Default Scrollbar issue... wider?

Hi all,

The scroll bars on the userform text box are too small for a touchscreen...
I need the bar to be wider, and the buttons to be larger.

In short, I need to control the scrolling of a text box with a very large
finger, so I need big controls.

Now...

If the scroll bar size can NOT be changed... then I am perfectly willing to
do the scrolling with a spinbutton, which I *can* size.... problem is, how
to cause the textbox to scroll using the spinbutton?

Attempts to do this result in failure due to the fact that the textbox will
not scroll unless it has focus! And of course the spinbutton requires focus
too... so... well, the two controls are at an impass.

This will take someone smarter than I to solve...

Thanks in advance!

Scrollbar width is a Windows setting. Right-click desktop, Properties,
Appearance, Advanced.
