Hi Mike,

One thing you need to do with code from external sources is apply **Clear Formatting** and **Ignore Formatting** , both of which you’ll find in the **Format** menu. Simply select and highlight your code and then apply each in turn.

How about highlighting the code and then selecting **Centre** from the **Format** menu? Does that work?

Try this then: select the stack, go to the Settings \> Layout \> Fill Mode and select Fixed Size. Set the width to slightly bigger than the width of the button and Align it Center.
