How do I scroll a document without scrolling the controls?

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I'm trying to create an application where the majority of the screen
contains a loaded Word document. I want the user to be able to scroll
through that document and then add customized comments (textboxes,
actually) at specific locations via a series of controls I have
created. This is working fine.
I need the controls to always be present, even as the user scrolls
through the document.
I tried placing the controls (buttons, etc.) in one cell of a table and
the document in another, larger cell, but I cannot get the document
cell to scroll.

Can anyone help with guidance on the best approach to do this?
Thanks very much

If we're talking about controls not needing to scroll along as you navigate
through the document, I assume they don't have a function besides
controlling the scrolling, right?
If so, place the "scroll controls" in a modeless (tiny) userform and use
something like

ActiveWindow.ActivePane.LargeScroll down:=1
or
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.SmallScroll down:=1

Thanks a bunch Perry for the quick response!

The controls will actually be mostly buttons. The user will first
highlight text within the open word document. Then, the user will
click a particular button to add a particular textbox at that location
in the document as well as highlight the selected text. So I think
placing the buttons in a userform will still work, no? The userform
should stay visible onscreen where it is even if I scroll down several
pages of the document, right?
