Hi
How do I change my scale points format. At present there is only 1-2 words per line for example:
I haven't
been
doing
this
at all

I would prefer this to be on two lines.
Many thanks

Scale points automatically wrap to fit the cell size. There are a variety of potential ways to address it. See this thread:

hi ,
Here I am assuming you have a matrix table and if you want to change the scale points formatting then click the drop down menu and using Rich Content Editor you can format the text.

Hi
Thank you, yes I am using a matrix table but can not see where in Rich Content Editor how to stop the text displaying on multiple lines. For example I only want the scale point description to show on two lines.
Eg I haven't been
doing this at all

Vs I haven't
been
doing
this at
all
Is there a way to expand the box?

I've solved this problem by using the html command   between words instead of a regular space. It stands for non-breaking space.
Try typing in: "I haven't been doing that at all"
