    Scroll question text for scale item

    I have a scale item with 10 response items. Each has a somewhat long sentence for its description. When I use the sentence for each item as that item's text label, the text is cutoff after the first line.

    I also tried putting all the text in the question wording (numbered 1-10), and then using a wide array of the 10 options with the buttons just labeled 1-10, but there is more text than will fit on one screen, and the buttons appear on top of the question text.

    How can I make it so that either the response items wrap and are scrollable (for my first setup), or the question text is scrollable with the response items appearing at the top or bottom (for my second setup)?

    Thanks.

    Try taking a look at the (s)pacing parameter. You can double space (or even triple+) the wording of the options by adding, e.g., s2 to your list of parameters. The value can be decimal and range between 1 and 4 I believe.
