MicroWorlds Pro "QUESTION Set Size" question
Hi Chuck,
Good to hear from you.
The char 13 thing is very strange indeed. Might I suggest using the
vertical bar to "force" special characters in Question. For example...
to foobar
question "|foo
fooey
foobar
blah blah|
end
You can also type the text in a hidden text box and then use QUESTION
textboxname to get the formatting you want.
Your second question may be the result of some functionality being
removed from MicroWorlds Pro due to lack of use. The dialog box WILL
resize to accomodate all of your text (that's the good news).
