stop text wrapping in Word 2003 document
Notepad and Wordpad have the ability to turn text wrapping on or off, how can
I do this with Word? I want to make a list of information where there is a new record on each line and keep it as simple text. Even if I wrap to window, that's not enough space sometimes. |

stop text wrapping in Word 2003 document
For what you're describing, you're probably better off using Notepad,
Wordpad, or Excel. Wordwrap is a feature. There is no way to turn it off. You can effectively prevent Word from wrapping very long lines, however, by a combination of setting the paper width really wide, setting the left/right margins very small, setting the font size very small, and choosing Ignore instead of Fix when/if Word tells you that the margins are set outside the printable area. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Roman" wrote in message ...

stop text wrapping in Word 2003 document
Thank you. Indeed, maybe I should just use WordPad. Since the beginning of
time I think, notepad mysteriously adds line breaks when word wrapping is on rather than just displaying it wrapped (in addition to other crazy behavior), but that's another topic.
