Hello,

Is anyone able to tell me if it is possible to format a control tip box? I
have entered the text but it only shows up right across the screen and I
would like to have the box formatted to just a couple of inches instead of 7".

Thank you,
IEJ

Hello, this is line 1<Ctrl+ Enter>This is line 2.

Press Ctrl + Enter (without the <>) where indicated.
