dx control problems

The activex controls lose their settings as soon as i leave the script editor. here's what I was doing. I was trying to make a multiline form on the desktop that would sort of function like a post it note. i chose the Microsoft form text control. it looks like some of the settings would allow me to create what i want, but when i change a setting it gets lost when i leave the script editor. hmm a bit redundant.

Thanks for any help given
