10.6.30 Turn Word Wrap On or Off
When word wrap is off, text moves to the next line only when you enter a carriage return. In this case text
may extend beyond the width as well as beyond the height of the text object, and more importantly, beyond
the background box if one is defined for the text object.
When word wrap is on, PlanetPress Design moves text to the next line as soon as it exceeds the width set for
the object in the Basic attributes. It is important to understand that PlanetPress Design uses space characters
to determine where to wrap the line (note that tab characters are not converted to spaces). If you enter a line
of text that does not contain a space character, no word wrap occurs, even when the length of the line
exceeds the width of the text object. If you subsequently insert a space character in the line, PlanetPress
Design performs the word wrap at that space character.
To turn the word wrap on or off:
• In the menu bar of the Text properties, choose Format | Word Wrap.
