Keith in UK Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I regularly have to import sizeable chunks of text and need them to format into the equivalent of a text box found in most word processing software. At present I have to blank off a section of the screen - which I can do easily, but then when I paste in the text it imports as a single line of text right across the screen disappearing off to the right with no carriage returns. It then takes quite a while to manually format into the space. And that is only easily possible on the left side of the screen. I need a text box so that the imported text formats to the size and position of the text box wherever that might be on the screen. Am I missing something because I'm really surprised that this facility appears not to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
