display object

[Ralf Schmaelzle]

Hi Stephen,

have you set the AlignVertical-Property to top? I just tried to do so and
added some <enter><enter><enter><enter> in order reach a quasi-centered
alignment. In the second textDisplay obejct I just did the same (except for
two more <enter>).

Hope that helps. Ralf.
