MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Start a new Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by
   default.

2. Add an OLE Container and a CommandButton to Form1. Click Cancel if
   prompted for an object type.

3. Add the following code to Form1's code window:

      Option Explicit

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
         OLE1.CreateEmbed "", "Word.Document"
         OLE1.DoVerb vbOLEUIActivate
         OLE1.SizeMode = 1
         With OLE1.object
            .ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollbar = True
            .ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollbar = True
         End With
      End Sub

4. Run the project by pressing the F5 key.

5. Click Command1 to embed a new word document in the container. The code
   will automatically activate the document and show the ScrollBars.

6. Type "Hello World" in the document.

7. Start moving the mouse around and/or click the start of the document.
   You should notice that the ScrollBars disappear shortly upon
   receiving these mouse events.
