How do I soft wrap text documents by default?

I use a lot of plain-text (or markdown-formatted) documents on my computer and on my server for storing basic information. When I open those documents in Firefox, though, the lines aren't soft-wrapped. Is there a way to set Firefox to soft wrap simple text files by default?
'''Update:''' To clarify: I can see the text files fine, and don't want to open them in a different program. I keep a lot of book notes on my web domain in plain text files, and I'd like to be able to navigate to those files ''within my browser'' and read them ''within my browser.'' But when I go to domain.com/whatever.txt, Firefox does not soft wrap the lines, so I get paragraphs sitting entirely on one line. I'd like to know if there's anyway to soft wrap the file within Firefox, preferably by default.

On documents on my computer I use an external editor, Notepad, so that comes up with View > Page Source and it's keyboard shortcut. While it is wrapped it is not a proportional font. But if I want to see the same list I can use a keyword shortcut. if it's on the web then Ctrl+U works just find with the normal list.
'''Name:''' source: View Source for when Notepad Edit is invoked by Ctrl+U for LOCAL files
: '''Location:''' javascript:location="view-source:"+location
: '''Keyword:''' source:
: '''Description:''' view source -- same as in IE (it is a chrome shortcut)

  • Text document for After Effect Cs4

    I never open the After Effects CS4 but it is amazing....
    For the beginning, want to try  Animatin Text but couldn't created the Text document.
    when  i created the Text from Photoshop and import to After Effects then it will show " transform" not " Text".
    How can i create the Text document for After Effects....????
    thanks for reading and little help Please

    I do quite a bit of Text Animation in both AE and Premiere Pro, and just create my images in PS. In my case, I am working with SD (Standard Def) DVD Projects in NTSC-land, so I will use the New Image, and then choose the NTSC 720 x 480 Preset, choosing either the Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9 w/ Guides, and then add my various Text Layers, per normal. The layout of my Text Layers will depend on what and how I want to animate my image. Then, I do a Save_As PSD, to be Imported into AE or PrPro. For animations I want the Layers, so I will choose Import_as_a_Sequence in PrPro, so that each Layer is a separate Clip.
    In your case, the New Image Preset might differ, depending on exactly what your Frame Size is, in AE. Plan that out first, so that you match the AE Comp's specs. with your new Image.
    If you are gong to TV, you might want to use the Title Safe and Action Safe Guides in that New Image, as they will help keep your Text within any overscan area for CRT TV's (and still some HD TV's).
    Good luck,

  • How do I import an irregular shape into pages to wrap text around?

    I see in the lovely demo how pages can wrap text around an image that is an irregular shape, but they never tell us  how to actually get one onto the iPad. As far as I can tell jpg's and tff's are all that the iPad will work with and those are all square. How do I import an irregularly shaped graphic such as a butterfly or logo into my document? Thanks.

    You must need a PNG with transparent background. I just made one in iDraw and it flows great in Pages.

  • How do I wrap text around a picture in Pages 5.5?

    Using Yosemite, MacBook Pro (late 2009) Pages v. 5.5.  Previous version of Pages let me wrap text around pictures in newsletters.  I can't find this option or how-to anywhere in v. 5.5.  How do I wrap text around one side or another of an inserted picture?

    Assuming your text is in your document, and you insert a picture. While the picture is selected, you will notice that on the right format panel, the Arrange tab has appeared. Select either Stay on Page, or Move with Text — depending on your image goal — and then look at the Text Wrap feature. By default, once you drop a picture into the document, it is set to Automatic. This means you can place your pointer in the image and just move it around, while text flows around it. The smaller the image the better the flow effect. This is a discussion about Pages v5.2.2, but it will work the same in v5.5.
    Let's say you want the image flush aligned to the left margin, but want text to flow above, to the right, and below the image. Change text wrap automatic to Around, select the right icon for Text Fit, and adjust your spacing up or down for the proximity of the text wrap to the image. It looks like this with Text Fit spacing set to 9 pt.

  • How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word.

    How can I create a text pop up window in my Pages document? I want text to pop up when the reader hovers his/her cursor over a certain word in the document. I am teacher. So for example when a student came to word he/she did not know, if he/she hovered the cursor over the word, a defintion or other information would appear.  You can do this in Word using bookmarks/hyperlinks but I can't figure this out in Pages. I can link it to another point in my Pages document but I just need the text to pop up - not take the reader to another location.  THANK YOU!!!!!!

    Have you tried Word for Mac?
    You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf

  • In the new Keynote how does one find the Wrap Inspector to wrap text around a photo??? Thanks

    In the new keynote, the help section refers to the Wrap Inspector.  How does one find that or how does one wrap text around a photo??   Thanks

    You can also use the shape tool to draw a shape roughly following the outline of the graphic you want to wrap text around, change the fill and stroke to "none", then paste your text within the shape. It's a few more steps, but it opens you up to many creative alternative layouts.

  • How Do I Wrap Text Like the iOS Camera App?

    Hello. I am in yearbook, and I have been challenged with designing the cover of the yearbook, and I have been having a few problems along the way. One of these problems is to wrap text. Specifically, I'm stuck on how I would wrap text like the iOS camera app on the bottom of the screen. The words seem like they are wrap around a 3D object to give it that effect, but I can't really tell. If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

    There is a big difference between being a casual user than real work or development. I own a iPod its a great MP3 player and a device I can display my pictures on out of my pocket. I'll even Facetime my kids at time to see my grand kids or help fix something.  My wife has a mini iPad for quick internet access and quire music and uses her iPod to entertain our two year old grandson with games.   She uses a Canon 1D mark 4 and I a Cannon 1D mark II.  The only use the iPad and iPod cameras get is Facetime. No iOS apps are use to work on images  they have no value when you have Photoshop. The iPod is better for displaying image then the iPad mini it has a 3:2 aspect ratio display and travels better the the mini iPad which has a 4:3 aspect ratio display.  I also crop image for display on wall mounted HDTV. The iPad is better for casual internet access then the iPod. All our kids have iPhones and they all use computers either Mac or PC for work and internet access.  When you have a Unix or Windows why would you want to touch an iOS device for work or serious internet access.  Apple mobile devices are convenient for casual use and grand kids don't get that dirty finger painting on them as they do using real paint. Nothing of real value is maintained on an iOS device.
    Well...there's Photoshop Touch and Photoshop Mix as well as Lightroom Mobile. It could be argued that they're don't exactly mirror their desktop cousins, yes, but they weren't meant to be. They were meant as extensions to the desktop experience.  (e.g., Lightroom Mobile lets one work with the RAW images they have in their Lightroom desktop collections.)
    The more powerful Windows tablets can run Photoshop desktop (like Photoshop CC) too.
    @bluebocat: Are you looking for text with a perspective? Like it has a vanishing point? As if it was turned in a certain direction in 3D space?

  • How to wrap text around a table

    I'm new to Pages. The first thing I tried to do was play with tables, because they are the biggest headache in Microsoft Word. However, I ran into a problem right away--I cannot figure out how to wrap text tightly around a table so that the table is surrounded by text on all four sides.
    Does anyone know how to do this? Seems very basic. There is even a button that shows what I want (Text Wrap drop-down --> Around), but when I click on it, nothing happens.

    Peter,
    I can recreate the appearance with five hard returns after the first paragraph, or instead, changing the After Paragraph spacing to 116 pt. Did this with Baskerville Regular 12 pt with line spacing set at 1. Same Arrange settings as shown by OP.

  • How can I wrap text in a pie in pages?

    How can I wrap text in a pie in pages?

    If you need to insert text into a shape like a pie wedge, the easiest way might be to simply use the shape - freeform tool (at the bottom of the shape menu) and create a shape and type your text in it then place the shape over your pie wedge. The text within the shape should wrap - additional controls for text can be used with the Text Inspector.
    You can edit the actual shape with Format Object > Make Shape Editable option but unfortunately, you have an option to make straight or smooth curves, but not both, so you'll need to shape the object using smooth curves and use the the bezier controls that appear as you select a control point.

  • How do I remove a green background from a pdf text document?

    I posted this question yesterday and received one reply.  I wanted to respond to the reply, but couldn't find a link or "button" to click on that would enable me to do that, so I'm doing it here.  As I'm new to this site, please advise me where the link is, if there is one. 
    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that PDF was proprietary, with one "owner" and that PDF was PDF, so it didn't matter what program you had on your computer because PDF was universal.  Second, when I googled Nuance pdf, I was directed to this site, specifically the "Create, Edit and Export PDF's" section.  Third, I also have Adobe Acrobat with pdf and a bunch ofother Adobe products on my computer.  So, that brings me back to my original question,  how do I get rid of a green background on a pdf text document, so I don't use up all my ink when I print it.  Thanks for your patience and help.

    I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

    OK, so I have a situation.  I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document.  This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text.  The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file!  Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected.  In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form.  I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.
    How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?

    OK, so I tried this as a starting point, and assigned it to a button on page 3 of the form.
    p=0;
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNumWords(p);j++) {
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(p,j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This gives me all the words on the first page not in fields, and each word goes on a separate line.  Now, characters in the document such as "&" or ")" cause the rest of the word to go on the next line down.
    Next, I tried this:
    console.show();
    console.clear();
    for (var j = 0; j < this.getPageNthWord(j);j++)
          var word = this.getPageNthWord(j,false);
          console.println(word);
    This only gives me the first word on page 3, the page the button is placed?
    What I need to do is run the code and place words on one line until the code hits a keyword "var cKeyWord1 = “Key1” for example?, then insert the value of field one, Start a new line in the console, restart the code where it left off until it hits the next key word "var cKeyWord2 = “Key2”, insert the value of field two, add a new line, and on and on.
    Is this possible?

  • How do i change the text in a submenu diffrent than the page name? I want it wrap into two lines

    How do i change the text in a submenu diffrent than the page name? I want it wrap into two lines or be a diffrent title but i can't figure out how to make any changes to the text.

    Hello,
    Text in Menu/Submenu canno tbe changed while using menu widget. However, if you use the Manual Menu option, then you can create your own Menu and add the hyperlinks according to your requirement.
    To create Manual Menu, please follow the steps below :
    1) In the Widget palette, go to "Menus" click and drag "Vertical/Hrizontal" into your artboard/workspace
    2) Click on the widget itself to a blue arrow appears to the right
    3) There is a drop down called "Menu Type" set it to "Manual" (as shown in screenshot) :
    4) Now You can create your own Menu and add your own text and hyperlink to  this Menu.
    Hope this helps.
