How to make scrollable text not reset when leaving the page

Hello,
I'm using Opus Pro 2.81. On my menu page, I have a long scrollable text box, with a different hypertext item on each line. When I click on a hypertext item, I am taken to another page. When I return to the menu page, I'd like the scrollable text to still be in the position at which I left it, instead of resetting and scrolling back to the top. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike

Create a publication variable "Scroll_Pos"
Type = number
Initial value = 0

Assuming the name of the text object is Text 1

Give the page a Pre-Hide trigger with this script
===================

var x = Text_1.GetScrollInfo()
Scroll_Pos = x.vpos

===================

Give the page a Pre-Show trigger with this script
===================

Text_1.SetScrollPosition(Scroll_Pos,-1)

===================
