Hi there, I was wondering how to make an NPC's dialogue separate into more than one dialogue box. It's pretty jarring to see one big box instead of a few separate boxes. That, it looks more professional. Much appreciated!

Go to Veiw-->Events, and create a New Event. Select the event, then type the second part of the message in the box labeled "Message" (it should be just under the "Toggle Layers" and "Show Layers" boxes). Then, when you select the NPC, click "Show" under where it says "Events" in the "Non-Player-Characters" window, click the "Talk" drop-down in the newly opened "NPC Event Triggers" window, and select the New Event from the list of events. Now, place the NPC back in the level, save it, and it should work. If you want more than two separate text boxes, make another New Event, type the next part of the message in its "Message" box, go back to the first New Event, and select the second New Event from the "Trigger Event" drop-down (it should be near the bottom-right of the Events window).

Thanks! I'm not usually too good at following tutorials, but so far They've all been easy to understand, yours included.
