Center Align Question Wording

[edited from support email]

I have question which can't find an answer to regarding Medialab v2004: How can I center words that appear on the screen in questionnaire files?

Not sure if it was implemented in v2004--this alignment feature may have become available in v2006 or later. From the v2008 user's guide:

Apply parameters to question wording

You can now add parameters specific to the question wording on any item. You can add top, left, width, and height parameters in the question wording itself to define its location and boundaries. To do so, use the key word "param" at the end of your question wording followed by your parameters in parentheses. E.g.,

Please answer the following questions. When you're done, feel proud you did a good thing. param(t200,l100,w200,h100)

You can also add an "a" parameter to set the alignment of the text. By default it will be left aligned. For right alignment, add "a1". For center alignment, add "a2". e.g., "The quick brown fox jumped off the roof. param(a1)" will be right aligned. "The quick brown fox jumped off the roof. param(a2,t.5)" will center the sentence horizontally on the screen and the top of the text will be located 50% of the way down the screen.
