Anchor position in likert scales & sliders

Hello,
Is it possible to change the position of the anchor in likert scales or slider-type questions? Please see the attached picture for the problem I'm encountering. I'm pasting my code here.
Thanks!

<block rse>
/preinstructions=(rate_rse)
/trials = [1-10 = lrse]
</block>

<likert lrse>
/anchors = [1="Strongly disagree"; 5="Strongly Disagree"]
/stimulusframes = [1 = rseqs]
/numpoints=5
/position= (50, 80)
/anchorwidth=120px
/fontstyle = ("Verdana", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
</likert>

<text rseqs>
/size = (600, 70)
/items = rseitems
/position = (50, 40)
/halign = center
/select = sequence
/fontstyle = ("Verdana", 4%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
</text>

<item rseitems>
/1 = "On the whole, I am satisfied with myself."
/2 = "At times, I think I am no good at all."
/3 = "I feel that I have a number of good qualities."
/4= "I am able to do things as well as most other people."
/5= "I feel I do not have much to be proud of."
/6= "I certainly feel useless at times."
/7= "I feel that I’m a person of worth, at least on an equal plane with others."
/8= "I wish I could have more respect for myself."
/9= "All in all, I am inclined to feel that I am a failure."
/10= "I take a positive attitude toward myself."

You can can include linebreaks in your anchors:

<block rse>
/preinstructions=(rate_rse)
/trials = [1-10 = lrse]
</block>

<likert lrse>
/anchors = [1="Strongly disagree

"; 5="Strongly Disagree

"]

/stimulusframes = [1 = rseqs]
/numpoints=5
/position= (50, 80)
/anchorwidth=120px
/fontstyle = ("Verdana", 2%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
</likert>

<text rseqs>
/size = (600, 70)
/items = rseitems
/position = (50, 40)
/halign = center
/select = sequence
/fontstyle = ("Verdana", 4%, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
</text>

<item rseitems>
/1 = "On the whole, I am satisfied with myself."
/2 = "At times, I think I am no good at all."
/3 = "I feel that I have a number of good qualities."
/4= "I am able to do things as well as most other people."
/5= "I feel I do not have much to be proud of."
/6= "I certainly feel useless at times."
/7= "I feel that I’m a person of worth, at least on an equal plane with others."
/8= "I wish I could have more respect for myself."
