    Wrapping button text

    I feel a little stupid asking this question because Ithink there's probably a simple solution that I just haven't thought of yet. Has anyone figured out a way to wrap the text of a button? I have some nice buttons with long titles that would fit if I could wrap the text of the button. I'd rather do that than make the font so small that the words fit but they're hard to read.

    Any suggestions?

    If memory serves me, others were using a paragraph object over the top of a button to achieve this.... I think.

      Or a label, either way one of the things you need to remember is to set the actions for the 'overlay' to be the same as the button.

        Thanks for the replies. That's what I'm currently doing (i.e. an overlay, though paragraph object seems to be the only one that can wrap, not label). I just thought there might be a better way.

        Thanks again!

          Label will wrap, but you need to for is like this

          This\nis\nwrapped

          would result in:

          This
          is
          wrapped
