Multi-line text element question

Can you change a non-multi-line text element to a multi-line text element?
  

It's not what a man says that matters or how he says it, but what he does and how he does it.

Yes, most definitely.

Select the element -> Propery Editor -> Text - > in Set - select Text -> change Single line to Multiline

OK, I did this once.  Now can't seem to make multiline command work.  Someone treat me like a 5 year old and walk me through the steps so I can see what I am forgetting!  Thanks.

Sesame Designer -> Redesign Form  -> Select Form -> Select the element -> Propery Editor -> Text - >   In Set there is "Label", open the drop down menu and select TEXT -> change Single line to Multiline

Foster, look in the property viewer to see if it is single line or multiline. Unless you make the text element vertically bigger, you might not notice the change in behavior.
