You could define the HTML as a background to an Instruction Item rather than having it as an HTML Item. If you define the region where it's going to appear (see above), you can avoid the scroll bar, I believe. See background in the users guide for more detail.
thanks for the info!
I'm having a bit of trouble with this. I'm able to create the htm file (using Microsoft Word). I can even get it to display in MediaLab using the directions given. But when it displays, it displays the code, not how I want it to look. (I'm trying to italicize and bold different phrases in a questionnaire). I even copied the code straight from previous posts to be sure that it was written correctly. Is there a step that I'm missing?

Can you zip and post a folder containing a simple .que file and your html file? Then I can try it out here and see if I can replicate the problem and identifiy the issue.
The code is displaying how I want it to look now (e.g, not the code, but as italicized text). Instead I'm having a problem getting it to look similiar to the rest of the questions in Medialab (same color, font, etc.) Also, the file takes up the whole screen (so that you can't even see the continue button).
The attached files are from two items that we are trying to create, one being a set of instructions with a bolded phrase, and the second being a multiple response item with italics, that we'd like to have 5 response options (again, the file takes up the whole page). The third and fourth items are included to give an idea of what we'd like this to look like in Medialab (excluding the formatting).
Thanks very much for your help with this.
Take a look at the revised sample and see if that's what you are looking for. I changed your two custom items to an instruction item and a scale response. Then I added your html files as "backgrounds" with defined areas for the html to appear. Let me know if you have any trouble with it!
