    Thanks to all for your suggestions and expertise!
    I had similar. It was a problem with docs.google.com yesterday for some. All working now with me.

    I've got this working with the widget in a placeholder. However, the note appears in a scrolling box. I have been through the widget instructions but can't find how to size and control (edit) the box. Thoughts?

    You need to add the width and height and any border you want (example code below). Depending on the size of your document (width and height) you can adjust the size of your placeholder to show the document as you would want to see it viewed. Best in the first instance to make the placeholder the same (w) & (h) as the iframe. You can then increase the size of the placeholder such that the scrollbars are not needed (where possible) and do not therefore appear. You can use a HEX colour reference for the border to match your website colour theme, or put border:none.

    Code:
     <iframe src="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vSiM9XU2r37CsdpmJdQ-8zQKDKhkHN1q7HyEpEID3UX0XGKvXzz4e0OAMjP_UQzPowinUSYABsmnO7u/pub?embedded=true" style="border:solid 1px #59821f" width="480" height="600"></iframe>

    Thanks for this, Initiostar, it works perfectly. I just had to copy and paste your added code and change the numbers you entered.

    Is this some instruction I couldn't/didn't find, or just knowledge from being a code writer? I'd rather not both you guys as much as I do.

    You will not find this in any Xara Help. I experienced the issue you had a long time ago and headed off to school: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp. Inserting (w) and (h) works for some widgets, but not all.

    Wow! I'm going to have to put aside some time for that! Thanks for being the one to do the painful stuff.
