Well I did a search for "two line Room Tags" and Room tags and for some reason the results were not so good. I was trying to review what has been rehashed numberous time about room tags needing two line of text. Can any one point me to the landing spot?

I usually creates a schedule and type the name from there using SHIFT+ Enter. Then i can easily edit in the tag.

Great Tip! In my schedule, only the first word shows. Is that "normal"?

Yes, but you can still edit it. Or use the tag to edit

You just need to adjust the room tag family to be bot. justified, and center then adjust the text box to be slightly smaller in widht then it will word wrap auto matically, I usually have 4 or 5 room tags loaded into a project , one is called Narrow for those tiny spaces, one is Long, which the text box is stretched out so its allways a single line. I also have one called abbreviation which has a shared parameter called abbreviation so in my schedules it Reads Men's Restroom but on the plan it reads M, etc.

Oh yeah, it's all documented! All these hidden gems will create a book heavy enough to kill a small dog if it drops on it!

Thanks all,

The instructions ("...schedule and type the name from there using SHIFT+ Enter.") for a two line room tag work for the tag but I cannot make the schedule show the entire room name as one line. Where do I adjust the formating of the name field in the Family. When I try to edit the room name in room tag family (per SBrown's Instructions) it is already set to Bottom and Centered and the schedule only shows the second line of the room name.
