I had this problem some months ago. I solved it by using a very dirty procedure. It might work for you, although is not perfect Paste your text into an editor (say openoffice). Then, use the font arial; justification = centered. Split the text into separate sentences. add spaces until you get sentences with similar sizes. add the quotes. To sum up, it works, but is a trial-and-error task. If the stataserver does not delete white spaces, this code is an example webuse auto, clear graph bar price,bargap(-30) over(foreign) note("The development of Linux is one of the most prominent" "examples of free and open source software collaboration;" "typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely" "modified, and redistributed, both commercially and" "non-commercially , by anyone under licenses such as" "the GNU General Public License. Typically Linux is" "packaged in a format known as a Linux distribution for" "desktop and server use.", margin(medium) justification(left)) I am very curious to see any smarter solutions. Cheers!
