Mark,
Button.Caption := 'Line1'#$0D#$0A'Line2';
definitely works for me. What font are you using? What version of Delphi
are you using? I have used it with D2 - D4. Do you have a bitmap on the
button?
If you really cannot get this to work, you can always create a bitmap with 2
lines of text and use as the button bitmap (last resort).
Regards,
Dennis.
