Dennis--

While Ben's provided a good answer, bear in mind that the Label can contain up to 32K worth of text--far more than can be displayed by the Script Label palette.

I also recall that the palette stops displaying text after the first carriage return in the Label.

If you need to view more text than the Script Label palette can display, or to display text containing carriage returns, why not create a text field on your form, set its Multiline property to true, set the Scroll Bars property of the field to Vertical, and then assign the label to the field with something like:



Rem Given a text frame "myTextFrame" 
Text1.Text = myTextFrame.Label 




Thanks,

Ole
