New line in icon name on desktop?

[Will]

How can I force the text in the name of an icon to break to a new
line?

----------------------- EXAMPLE --------------------------

For example, I might this name for an icon on the desktop:

"XP happy & content"

which might show as:

"XP happy &
content"

but which I want to show with a line break in a different position:

"XP happy
& content"

--------------------- END EXAMPLE ------------------------

Hi Will,

Press the space bar after the word happy until the line wraps.

Hi Will,

Press the space bar after the word happy until the line wraps.

If I use the space bar then the icon's text no longer centers
properly. In fact it starts to look like a bit of a mess!

But I want to *improve* the looks of the text!

Will.

Heh heh! Except that your suggestion doesn't work.

If the screen font magnification is changed or the font or font size
changed then the spaces make a real mess. In fact they make a real
mess without any of those things happening. You have tried it
haven't you? If not then I can tell you that the character alignment
is a joke. See my other post in this thread.

In the end, I am looking to manually force a line break. Do you know
what key combo would generate a line break in the icon text?

can't be done. alt-enter often enters what is known as a "hard LF", but
not in this case.
