textDisplay objects not aligning

[David McFarlane]

ajr,

Hmm, unrequested random vertical placement of text in a TextDisplay 
object, that is weird.  I would be curious to know what the "couple 
of characters" might be, and whether you have any blank lines 
inserted at the top of any of the TextDisplay objects, although those 
would not explain the random placement.

As to controlling the absolute placement of text on the screen, two approaches:

- With a TextDisplay object, reduce the frame dimensions, then move 
the frame position via the frame X & Y properties.

- Use a SlideText sub-object on a Slide display.
