Presenting different length texts

[Anthony Capobianco]

Mark,

I suggest you use a single text display, and create a list object for each
story (you could also do one for all the stories, but that would be a bit
more complicated).  Each entry in the list object is a line of the story and
it reuses the text display to run that procedure for each one.  E-Prime will
log results separately for each trial.

Hope this helps.

Anthony
