Word Wrap in ipad email

My email consistently is seen by my recipients in a long line, without word wrap.  How can I change  this?  I'm using Yahoo, but it doesn't happen with any other mail client beyond my ipad.

Yes, and here we are 7 months later still looking totally stupid when we send emails with lines that don't wrap to fit the window (like it just did here).  I saw this happen with a friends iPad and we spent hours looking to turn on word wrap, which has been a minimum standard since the 1980's.  I assumed this would have been fixed by the time I bought this iPad2 but NO.  It is truly an UGLY fact that Apple can produce elegant devices that don't have the basic minimum programming to make them work properly.  I am so angry that I bought an Android phone instead because it word wraps emails beautifully and instantly reformists to wide or narrow screen.  Conversely, if I type an iPad email and the line continues beyond the edge of the window the type is made smaller and smaller the longer the line gets.  The reply to my email showed that my type size was about 2 points in height and looked like unreadable ants on the screen.  Wake up Apple, Linux is going to Eat Your Lunch if some Smart programming isn't applied to your devices!

  • Please explain word wrap in Lion email

    On my iMac, using OS 10.7 mail, some email message text wraps in windows and other email text will not (sent or received) I know that this has something to do with using plain text, or rich text. It is not clear what the rules on when it will, or will not, wrap text.
    Does it work the same way in Snow Leoopard?
    Any help would be apreciated. Kevin

  • I have an issue with some PDF documents   some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

    Hi,
    I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
    PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
    MS Word Docs -
    inserted graphics don't display at all,
    tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
    tables & lists missing the borders &
    tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
    This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
    It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
    We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
    There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
    This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
    Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

    Hi,
    I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
    I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
    iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly  
    These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
    Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
    Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
    I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
    Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring

  • Need to save a word document received on email to my iPad 2

    Need to save a word document received on email to my iPad 2

    You will first need an app on the iPad that supports word documents - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support word documents include Apple's Page app, and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice Pro HD - when you have an app you should then be able to use 'open in' on the email to save the document to that app.

  • Suddenly, my Word docs are showing up on IPAD email as winmail.dat files

    I've been sending myself word docs from Windows Outlook desktop email so I can work on documents on my IPAD while away from home. Worked fine until yesterday, and now my word2003 attached docs on Ipad email are showing up as unopenable winmail.dat files. I've done nothing different, so am not sure what is happening. Other people's emails with Word docx files are opening fine as are pdfs

    Sorry, I can't help with why it is happening but there is an app available to read them.

  • Can I view Microsoft word on my iPad?

    Can I view Microsoft word on my iPad?

    You can view Word documents as email attachments on the iPad, but if you want to save and edit Word files you need a compatible app for Word files ..... Pages, Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and others are available in the app store that you can check out and see which best suits your needs.

  • Text area and Word Wrapping

    I am creating a email form and am having problems with word
    wraping in the text area. You can view the page and the output if
    you put your email address in the form. The problem is the text
    areas word wrap when inputting your information but all formatting
    is lost in the email. Even if I add spacing for paragraphs. All
    data is just a big run on sentence.
    Here is the
    Page.
    I am using Dreamweaver * and php.
    Thanks

    Someone may have tried this because I received this output in
    an email. You can see the formattint is lost.

  • Is there a way to zoom and text wrap on ipad safari

    Dear all
    Now I am in iOS 6 and still the text doesn't wrap on safari *after pinch and zoom*
    So one is forced to keep scrolling to read *every* line !! And that is annoying
    The grey reader ikon does NOT appear on all web pages ...I know I know there are limitations
    So what is the solution to wrap text on a web page after pinch and zoom ?
    Does one have to still run around to other browsers ( like atomic or whatever ) or is there some hope in safari ?
    Or should one go to the android world ?
    Or what ?
    I tried installing the readeability book marklet but that too does NOT work on all pages ( again checked on safari )
    SO IT BOILS DOWN TO word wrap on safari OR whatever browser after pinch and zoom
    Is there a way to wrap text AFTER pinch answer zoom on safari ?
    Any help , tips, workaround (free ) would be appreciated whole heatedly
    TIA
    regards
    Subu

    Thanks for the reply James
    I am NOT sure if we are on the same page / same understanding ...so let me try again
    All below on an ipad 2, iOS 6+ OS , all legal NO jailbreak
    1. Take a sample public page ...example http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/50104/000005010413000019/tso10k2012-ex322 .htm
    2. Pl open this on an iOS ...mobile safari browser
    3. When I open it on my ipad 2 , iOS 6+ OS browser I do NOT see the reader facility and for my old eyes the font is small
    4. However BEFORE zoom the text IS properly text wrapped to fit inside an iPads screen
    5, I need to read this page , as I said the font is too small for me , so I pinch and zoom on my safari page as displayed on ipad 2
    6. Now the lines are longer than the ipad screen and I need to keep scrolling left and right to read any line fully !!!
    7. I want the text to be aligned AFTER zoom
    8. Am I making myself clear ?
    Thanks in advance for your tips , ideas
    Regards

  • Word Wrapping in DM8

    i'd like to word wrap (i think) so that people can move the
    borders of the window around and still see all the texts and
    images. can somebody tell me how to do this please?
    thank you

    That actually doesn't have much to do with it. (No offense,
    Ken!)
    If your text is within a container (a table, or a div, most
    likely) which is
    set to a percentage width, it will wrap to suit the size of
    the window,
    however the window is sized. This is assuming that you're not
    putting hard
    returns (line breaks - <br>) at the end of any lines of
    text.
    Hope that helps,

  • How to word wrap, keep font size constant

    The zoom feature on the screen is constantly changing the size, in hotmail (windows live). I can zoom it back, but shouldn't have to do it constantly. Also, is there a way to set settings so email messages will word wrap, to keep from having to scroll back and forth to read them. I have a 14" screen on my laptop, but it stays too big.

    Some of my Hotmail emails are not word wrapping properly. Partial word wrapping is done,but each sentence requires the use of the scroll bar to reach the end.
    Other emails are normal.I opened Hotmail in IE9,and the same email wraps normally.I have FF 9.0.1 running on Win7 Home Premium.

  • Thunderbird 31.6.0 sometimes fails to word wrap properly

    Text lines sometimes fail to word wrap properly. Example: a sentence that contains the words "foggy bottom" , where the "foggy" is at the end of one line (when composing) and the word "bottom" is wrapped to the beginning of the next line appears like this: "foggybottom" when it appears in the "sent" folder. The two words were separated by a single space when composing. Does not happen all the time, only occasionally. I cannot reproduce this problem on demand - it only happens at random.

    Can you confirm that you are using Plain Text, not HTML?
    do you use Plain Text all the time?
    Can you check the following and say what you have as settings:
    Tools > Options > Advanced > General tab
    or
    Menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced > General tab
    click on 'Config Editor' button
    it will tell you to be careful :)
    In top search type: flowed
    What Value do you have for the following:
    I have not changed anything, so this is the default settings on my system.
    * mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support; Value = false
    * mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed; Value = true
    In top search type: wrap
    All Value settings show what I have
    What Value do you have for the following?
    * mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width; Value = true
    * mail.wrap_long_lines; Value = true
    * mailnews.wraplength; Value = 72
    * plain_text.wrap_long_lines; Value = false
    * view_source.wrap_long_lines; Value = false
    In the Saved Draft or Sent folder.
    select the email so you can read contents in message pane
    click on 'Other Actions' and then 'View source'
    where it says 'content type does it also say 'format-flowed'
    eg:
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
