Hey there!!
In a lot of places I see many buildings all named with multi-line titles such as :
Joes Java Palace
Hot Coffee Inside
Dougnuts too!!
All in one sign, the question I have is ..how is this done?
I've been trying a few different ways and so far no luck.
Appreciate any help with this.
Thanks.

Heres how its done:
1) Go to your spatial chat box.
2) Type in /notepad
3) Type in whatever you like in the notepad -->
Example:
Tony's Bar & Grill
The Best Food On the server
4) Highlight it > Copy > Paste on the rename structure chat box
5) Hit enter
And your done!

Thanks Ani, that actually answered a couple questions I was researching
If you could send this to me in game that'd be great I can be found on Corbantis Server: name GlubGlub M'LubBlub
Thanks again.

*Copying & Pasteing
Open your Options menu
Select Keymap (bottom on left),
Select Chat tab
Find and select "Chat Edit Copy"
Rebind {select Rebind, press button(s) you would like command mapped to}
Apply
Find and select "Chat Edit Paste"
Rebind {select Rebind, press button(s) you would like command mapped to}

If given a message that this may interfere with another command,
either continue and then Rebind the overwritten command,
or choose a new binding for current choices.

or choose a new binding for current choices.
You can now copy from any 'active' text in game and paste into emails, chat, /note, macros.
This is attached to your Windows Clipboard, so you can also copy text out side of the game, then paste it while playing,
or copy it into your 'notes' {which is found in your login profile folder contained in the SWG directory} and access ingame via /note.

*Less Linear Labels
Open up a new email {or use /no}
Type in your sign, label, or title as you would like it to appear.
Have a nice day! May become:
Have
a
nice
day!
a
nice
day!
Select text by highlighting with mouse.
Hit Copy key(s)
Place cursor in labeling box (for item or house or whatever)
Hit Paste key(s)
If you receive a "windows clipboard was null"
you either did not bind keys correctly or use the correct keys to copy.

Check your sign or wait for product to be done to see if typing is correct.
*General Color
Color may be applied to structure names, bags/backpacks, basic text, and certain chat.
Basic text includes Emails, descriptions area, bio, and /note.
Chat that may be colored includes auction, vendor barking, AFK reply, reply, guild.
Basically everything except spoken chat like yell, say, and shout.

To add color you will need to type \# before the #'s that match the color you want,
just before the word(s) you want that color.

Just press \ once! It and the #'s may disappear if done correctly,
though not always depending what you are naming.

Here are some basic colors.
Type \# and the corresponding #'s before your words you want colorized.
Remember to use the white code if wanting to return to normal looking text.

\#006600 \#009900 \#00FF00 GREENS
\#000066 \#000099 \#0000FF BLUES
\#660066 \#990099 \#FF00FF PURPLES
\#000000 \#666666 \#FFFFFF MONOCHROMES
{ei: \#00ff00EXAMPLE will give you this: EXAMPLE }
For highlighting colored text you may want to ENTER a few times down past your last typed line.
Then begin highlighting from the bottom of the empty lines you just created.
This will allow you to highlight the \ & #s at the beginning of the lines easier.

For chat, place a period (or anything really) before the \ or you will speak the #'s instead of haveing colored chat.
It may take some practice to highlight correctly, and even more to adjust everything to the look you want.
Above all play with it and try out all you can.

If you would like a ingame email of this to reference to, post your SERVER & INGAME NAME

open up your notepad ( /no ) and type it as you want it to be seen
eg.
Joes Java Palace
Hot Coffee Inside
Dougnuts too!!
then copy and paste it to the structure name box. (copy and paste functions will need to be keymapped in the options first, as I dont think they are done as standard).
You can also write it out in an external program (notepad/word etc) then copy in.
Hope that helps
