Besides using a TButton with an embedded TLabel, you can simply use a TBitBtn to display wrapped text. This can be achieved by either of the following ways:

• Select 'view form as text' (Alt-F12) and change the TBitBtn caption to
  Caption = 'wrapped'#10'here'#10'and there'
  then 'view as form' again
  
  Caution:
  a few mistypes and have strange consequences here: DO NOT change names or cutnpaste new objects, modify only those already created
  
  
• In startup code (.FormCreate()) set caption to 'Hello' + #10 + 'World';
  
  
• If you copy a LF(#10) to clipboard you can paste (shift-insert)
  it into the TBitBtn caption to get the multiline text at design time
  CR doesn't work for this nor does alt-013 or alt-010 :-(
  this at least allows captioning.
