HTML is relatively poor at this. HTML can specify some of it, but
you're at the mercy of how particular browsers might deal with the
actual implementation. HTML is also optimised about displaying "pages"
at a scale that's appropriate for "whole page" viewing. A tiny VB
input control, used more for input than display, isn't quite so
appropriate.

If the default behaviour isn't what you need, then look at using a
different VB control - probably not HTML.
