"Wrap" text in drawform

[GMHolder]

Does anyone know how to get a text string in a drawform table cell to "wrap" (meaning starting a new line) to stay within the width of the cell ?


The space I have for the "title" is often not big enough for the length of the text string and it just runs out either side of the cell. Very ugly. got to be a way to do this !

How do you do it for a parameter driven field?


I tried this and it doesnt work.

You can't for a parameter driven cell. You can have the cell refit to the text or break into multiple parameters to input into the cell.

How do you break into multiple parameters to input into the cell?

You just create the required number of parameters withsegments of the text that fit within the cell width. Using the example above if you want the width to remain as it is you would create six string parameter values for the text lines,add the six parameter values to the cell, and adjust the cell height as required.

Ahhh yes. We do that already. I thought you were referring to a way to automatically break up the parameters to fit the lines.
