Does anyone know of a way within FT View to make the text of a caption scroll (move right to left) if the length of the message you want to display exceeds the size of the object on the touch screen?

We have custom fault displays using a lot of multistate indicators, and sometimes I end up having to short-hand alarm messages because I don't have enough screen space. Some of our systems have close to 200 potential alarms and we like to have all active alarms display at the same time.

I was thinking if I could have the caption text scroll then I could add more descriptions without increasing the size of the indicators on the screen.
