Text Box Margins?

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

I have experienced in both on my old laptop that uses windows 7 and the new one that uses 8.1... I just try to live with it as I can't seem to find a viable fix... The preview option works fine for me, so I just use it whenever I put a text on the text box to see if it fits or not.

So is there really no way to get an accurate sense of what is and what isn't getting cut off?

None that I know of, though as far as I remember, when I use a font size like 18 I think or something, it seems to work just like how it was meant to be..

I think I've found a solution, though not a particularly elegant one. From what I can tell the preview is trustworthy, so if I use it to check the text as I go along, and wait to insert the escape command for the speaker's name until after everything else is ready, I can at least avoid having to resort to playtesting.

That is what I said on my first reply, which is on top of this 2nd page...

Oh, so you did. That was stupid of me. The name thing was throwing me off, I guess. I only today figured out what "Batch Entry" meant, so for a while the text box kept eating my last line when i hit Enter.

Never used that... XD

Batch entry makes it easier to type in walls of text for the same character, with or without faces, without having to hit the 'show text' command several times.
