Text Formatting

Is there any way to have more control over the way text is displayed. Right now I just want to be able to change the vertical alignment to top left.

Also, is it possible to insert line breaks into text in a table?

If this is currently not possible, does GS see this becoming possible any time soon?

Thanks, but I got the left, right and center already. I need to be able to get the text aligned to the top vertically as I want to have a large display text area with text loaded from a table. Some cells will have more text in them than others, so as it works now the text loads up in the center vertically and looks out of place with the design of the scene that I want to use.

Thanks for the tip on line breaks.

OK, so I just found that by checking the "wrap inside actor" box in the display text attribute actually aligns the text to the top.

Also, if I create the table in Excel first with line breaks as I want, then save it to as CSV and import that, all the line breaks are kept as per the Excel file.

Looks like this will achieve what I need.

Great tip re: excel csv

A line break is "\n"
So when you would like to make:
Line one
Line two
You would have to type "Line one".."\n".."Line two"

@LudwigHeijden thanks for that info! How to break lines had been bugging me for some time...
