A screen grab with text invisibles switched on is always a good help…

that's a much better explanation, you didn't have to create another thread, you could have replied to my reply in the original thread.

we use the "\r" character to insert a new line and we can use "\t" to insert a "tab" for the spaces, or the actual spaces in a variable

var sixSpaces = "      ";
areaText.contents = "This is an Area\rText in a rectangle." + sixSpaces + "See\r" + sixSpaces + "how it" + sixSpaces + "flows to the\rnext line.";
