Hello Jeff

Since an editbox is all you need I suspect you may be running into the character length limitation that applies when storing a long string from within your program.

Tou can get round this as follows

mystring='The quick brown fox etc etc etc '
mystring=mystring+'Jumps over the lzay dog etc etc etc '

I got so fed up with having to do this that I wrote a pair of functions that uses Textmerge to write the strings out to a file and then reads them back into a variable for me.

This lets me see what they are going to look like on screen.


Good Luck


I need a way to display several lines of text on the screen. I would show enough for a small paragraph. I have tried a label, textbox, and editbox and each of these seem to have a length limitation. Is there way other than creating a seperate textbox for each line of text?
