Word/webpage text not wrapping
I am trying to use a previous document to produce a HTML document using word.
When i produce the HTML file, save it and open with a web browser, each paragraph of text continues on one line until complete. Is there any way to set it up, so the text will automatically wrap to the size of the browsers screen so people will not have to scroll to the right to read the text? |

IMHO, you should insert a table. Set the table to something like 75% width
(Table--Properties). Put your text inside the table cell. That way, it's 75% of the screen, no matter whose screen it's on. I like to build my FrontPage webs that way too. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "jkyes" wrote in message ...

Oh! You might want to center the table while you're at it. I do!

I set up a table that was at 75% width, centered, and inserted my text. when
i change the width of MS word, the table size changes and therefor the text wraps to width necessary. but when i open the same file with explorer, it does not only take up 75% of the screen... any ideas?

Are you saving as HTML? When you view the code using Notepad, does the table
still say 75%? Why are you changing the margins in Word? They have no significance in HTML.  ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "jkyes" wrote in message ...

When i view the HTML source it does say under the table properties 75%. I am
not changing the margins in word, but am changing the window size, which does change the size of the table inside. when opening up the file with explorer, the file still opens wider then the window.

This all depends on your screen resolution, jkyes. Try setting the table
width to EXACTLY 4" or something. See... I have no idea what you want because you've only said "it's too wide". 75% should ONLY fill 75% of your browser window. If it's not working, what's your browser? Is your browser window sized to fit your screen? Or are you opening the HTML file in Word? Or what? ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "jkyes" wrote in message ... When i view the HTML source it does say under the table properties 75%.

Hi J.,
What version/build of Word are you using (from Help=About)? If you use File=Web page preview text typed in Word that does not have a hard (typed) return it should, by default, wrap when you resize the Internet Explorer browser window. How are you entering the text? How does it look in print layout view and in Web layout view as far as wrapping? Is the font you're using one that you can successfully spell check to locate an intentionally incorrectly spelled word? ======== "jkyes" wrote in message ...

Is there any way to set it up, so the text will automatically wrap to the size of the browsers screen so people will not have to scroll to the right to read the text? -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

I am having the exact same problem and cannot for the life of me figure it
out. Did you figure it out yet? I know exactly what you are talking about. Thanks. MR "jkyes" wrote: I am trying to use a previous document to produce a HTML document using word.
