So lines 1-16 works fine. I only added the other text so that you can see what I am trying to do. So I know its not right because I just quickly copied and paste so you can get the visual. But doing it right it just kept overlapping, so Im thinking there is a better way to get it to look how I want.
So basically what I want it to look like is:
Step 1.
What’s your name?
Step 2.
How old are you?
Step 3.
Where are you from?
So can anyone tell me what is the best text display to use if I want my text to be laied out like this?
