Hi gal,

do you mean this:

Code: Select all

...
  set the textalign of line 1 of fld 1 to "center"
...
?
But this won't happen automatically, unless YOU tell Livecode so 8)


Best

Full justification isn't supported, we are limited to left, right, and center.

I was looking for full justification but as jacque said isn't supported. Too bad...

Thank you

Did someone already make a feature request for this last "missing piece"?
