vertical arrangement within a JLabel
I have been looking through the API's and have not found a solution. Is it possible when clicking a button that will display text into a JLabel to start it on a new line underneath the text displayed from pressing a button before?
also to be able to allign certain words within that line to different points?

Yes but i dont want to type or edit text. the text is stored with a button when the button is pressed that text is to then appear in a JLabel, JTextArea?, how can i achieve this?
I thought that JTextAreas could be configured so they're read-only for the user.
(looking at API docs) yeah there's a setEditable method and a isEdiitable method. Plus there are all sorts of weird stuff you can do by playing with the text area's Document, apparently. Ask on the Swing forum or read the docs.
The docs for JLabel say "short text string" so it's probably not appropriate for multi-line text.
