I posted an original question about a tutorial & I received a reply, so now the scroll text does work, but how do you get any formatting in it. My class project is a personal portfolio & we are to put a resume in the scroll text box. This is the tutorial…

This is some of the material I’m trying to put in scroll box. Is there a way to have the word Objectives: on one line & each sentence on a line, as you would in a resume?

scrollableText = "Objective: To obtain an entry level position in Graphic Arts. Highlights: Commited to accuracy, thoroughness, and effectiveness. Able to adapt quickly to a new work setting. Successful team member. Able to evaluate alternate solutions to problems. Able to establish an appropriate course of action to accomplish goals.
