Multi-line text variable
Sep 24, 2012

Hi guys,
I'm currently creating a screen that allows the user to review text after they have submitted a text input interaction, using a variable to pull in the text on another page.
I've set up both text boxes to accommodate approx 50 words, however as soon as the inputted text goes over 3 lines of text, it reduces in size when displayed in the variable text review box.
I've turned off any auto fit options on both text boxes thinking this could be the cause but still the displayed text is shrinking.
Does any one have any experience displaying multiple lines of text using a variable?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Will.

Hi Will,
Was just chatting with Jeanette about this (she's amazing!) and here's what we (okay, she) found. If you turn off the auto-fit and size your text boxes to be big (or maybe tall is a better term?), this should solve the issue. This gives your text room to roam!

Tex always needs room to roam.
Sorry--just couldn't resist a cheap pun.
Thanks for the help guys! Works perfectly
