Just to make some examples: - Pane[text,{w,h}] does not work as described in the help: it clips the text instead of resizing. To resize, ImageSizeAction- >"ResizeToFit" has to be specified - Even after resizing, the text does not fill the specified region and is irregularly indented on the right. - The sizes of the image and the pane do not match, even if explicitly set equal. Moreover, I could not find a way to justify the text: only Left, Center and Right alignments appear to exist. ADL
