Text over slider/range widget question

["Edgar F. Hilton" <efh4v virginia edu>]

Hi there!
Is there a way to get the value over/next to a range widget to center
itself with respect to the widget rather than moving along with the
slider? If so, how is this done? I am having the problem that when a
large number gets too close to the boundaries of the range widget, then
some numbers begin to disappear.  For example, the number:

     1128.3

appears as 
	
	28.3

Which is quite misleading (and dangerous) for the controller interface
that we are using in the lab.  

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
