Likert question text

I am creating a likert style survey but when the questions come up on the screen, inquisit reduces the text size to all fit on one row. Some of the questions are longer and it would look better if it made the longer questions two lines. here is the script for the text. I'm just not sure what to change.

<text question>
/ items = question
/ select = noreplace
/ position = (50%, 30%)
/ fontstyle = ("Arial", 18pt, false, false, false, false, 5)
</text>

thanks!

#1: You need to specify the <text> element's /size attribute.

#2: You can insert line breaks and the like using "special characters" (e.g. ~n for a newline or ~r for a carriage return). See the "Special Characters" topic in the documentation for details.

thanks so much, using the special characters worked to break up the text.
