When I need a horizontal scrollbar, this is how I do that: I put 2 columns onto a content canvas. Then, create a stacked canvas whose size is large enough to fit the remaining space on the content canvas. Put 13 columns (left out of those 15 we started with) onto a stacked canvas. Align everything in order to make the form pretty.

The whole output means that 2 columns will be "fixed", while the rest will be viewed by pulling the scrollbar right/left. Of course, if you feel that less (or more columns) should be placed on a content canvas, no problem. Just make sure to have the stacked canvas large enough so that at least "something" will be visible in it.

Another, similar, approach is to use a tab canvas on a content canvas. Again put a couple of columns on the left of the content canvas, then put the tab canvas to the right of them. Put the remaining items on the tab canvas using as many tab pages as appropriate. If you can group the items into logical sets so each set has it's own tab page, even better. Then you'd skip between the tab pages to see all the items rather than using a horizontal scroll bar.
