How to word wrap text in button

New Here ,
Aug 04, 2006 Aug 04, 2006
I insert BUTTON, and type text, change its font and font size, but it all just stays on one line, exceeding the size of the button. I would expect it to wrap, or give me an option to wrap text as I resize the box.

I have searched through the Captivate Help, to no avail.

I had such a speedy and accurate response to my first post, thought I'd try again with this rather small problem that's been bugging me.
Thanks folks.

Hi again marz72overlook

Unfortunately there simply isn't a way I'm aware of that you can force a line break inside a button. However, I CAN think of a couple of possible workarounds.

1. Create an image with the text as desired and use the Image button format.
2. Create an image with the text as desired, insert it on the slide as an image object, then overlay a click box to accomplish the linking.

Hopefully this helps a bit... Rick
