Button Label/Text Across two lines?

buzztouch 1.5 Snow Leopard iOS 3.00 Hi, loving buzztouch so far. However some of my button labels are cut short after 7 characters, is there a method to have them on two lines to stop cutting off the text? Or any other suggestions welcome. Peter

One idea is to have a custom button image that you create where the text for the button is part of the button image itself. This is achieved by creating a button square that is large enough to fit both the button, and the text below it. It ends up looking like a standard button w/ text if you use transparency and get the button spacing right. Just remember to make all of your buttons the same size so they space evenly when adjusting the layout options. If you have any more questions about this please ask.

I thought about doing it that way, and the chances are it will be done with that. Tho was trying to avoid it if necessary. I also tried messing around with UILabel, but to no avail. But thanks.
