No word wrap option in Mac OS X 10.7.5's TextEdit?

Or did I miss it? Thank you in advance.

So if what you've written is really long, it will extend off the edge of the TextEdit window and, with full screen, off the edge of your monitor? In that case, check out TextWrangler, which can do what you want, and a lot of other good stuff, too.
Correct. Especially with long URLs, codes, etc. I hope it is free! Thanks.

Word Wrap Lost When Switching Between XML and Author Views

I compose DITA topics in the XML view with the word wrap option selected. If I switch to the Author view to check something and then return to the XML view, my nicely formatted XML view with all the happy element-nesting tabs goes away. I wind up with an ugly chunk of flush-left code and text that's difficult to read. Is there a reason why FM can't remember the tabs and word wrap when I return to the XML view?
I'm relatively new to using FM's structured side for DITA, so perhaps I'm missing the obvious solution to this problem. If you know the answer, I'd appreciate if you'd clue me in.
Thanks!

Sarah,
When you switch from XML to Author (or WYSIWYG) view, FM does not "remember" the XML document at all. Instead, internally it creates a structured FM document with the same element structure (possibly modified by the underlying XML application). When you switch back to XML view, it creates a new XML document from the current element structure, thereby preserving any changes you made in Author View. FM is very conservative about writing white space to XML in order to avoid inserting unwanted significant space.
If you do all your editing in XML View and want to inspect the formatted version of the document without making changes to white space, always make a copy of the XML document (with File > Save As) and use the copy in Author View.

TextArea component wont word wrap.. help!

I cant seem to get the TextArea component in Flash 8 to word
wrap. I've set the word wrap parameter to "true" but it will not
word wrap. It just puts all the text in one line. How do you fix
this? Also, is there a way to control the font size in the TextArea
component?
Thanks!

ad 1. sorry but in my instance true is set by default to word
wrap option and it works.
ad 2 instanceName.setStyle("fontSize",24)
u can learn more about TextArea by lookin to the script below
( its just an example):
function setStyles(instance) {
instance.setStyle("themeColor", "blue");
instance.setStyle("color", "blue");
instance.setStyle("fontFamily", "Courier New");
instance.setStyle("fontSize", 12);
instance.setStyle("fontWeight", "bold");
instance.setStyle("backgroundColor", 0xDDE0FF);
instance.setStyle("borderStyle", "alert");
setStyles(myTextArea);

Why does anchoring break word wrap?

I have a 200+ page typical book--one big column per page (two facing pages), and about 30 images/illustrations scattered throughout the book (at most one image per page). Most of the images are, say, half the column wide, and I want the text to flow around them. So I place the image in a reasonable spot and select Word Wrap | Wrap Around Bounding Box. Looks great so far. Then I anchor it--and the first line of text flows UNDER the image frame. Release the anchor and it word wraps correctly. When it's anchored I've tried both Wrap Around Bounding Box and Wrap Around Object, and various other word wrap options--the first line of text still wraps under the image frame. But all is well once I release the anchor. I'm a newbie--what am I missing?

It seems to not-work-as-expected if I place the anchor in text that is being word wrapped--that is, anywhere horizontal to the image. If I place the anchor in text above the image, that isn't being wrapped, it appears to work as expected. Sadly, this would suggest that if I want to place an image next to the paragraph that references it, and place the anchor inside the paragraph that references the image, that word wrapping won't work.

Word wrapping incorrect inside JTextPane on MAC 0.5/10.4 and Linux OS

Hello java-dev team,
In my application, I am using JTextPane as a text editor to create RTF text. The problem I observed with the JTextPane on MAC OS and Linux OS flavors (I tested on Ubuntu 8.04) is: whenever I am changing any of the text property (font color, font name, font style like bold, italic or underline) and then enter the characters without providing space, the whole word gets wrapped to the next line from the point where exactly the property change starts i.e. the new formatted text is jumped to the next line from the starting point of formatting.
My requirement is, as I am not adding any space character while changing the property, the characters should be entered in the sequence and should come to new line as per normal word-wrap rule.
Can anybody help me out in this regards with some solution as its a very urgent requirement?
Below I am also providing the sample code to check the behavior. There is no dynamic facility to change the property in the below code but I am providing the text with multiple formatting settings through code itself. To reproduce the above issue, just type the characters using keyboard in between characters with changed text properties and you can see the whole word jumping to new line.

}The same functionality works fine on Windows XP and problem is observed on MAC OS 10.4/10.5, Ubuntu 8.04. I am using jdk1.5 on both the platforms. I tested using jdk 6.0 on Ubuntu 8.04, and the problem is easily reproducible. I placed a query in the respective OS forums also but did not receive any replies. I also searched the suns bug database, but could not find any bug addressing the mentioned problem correctly. I also logged issue at bugs.sun.com and was assigned internal review ID of 1480019 for this problem.
If you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Just want to update that when I checked this issue with JDK1.6 on Ubuntu 8.04, I am unable to reproduce the issue. Everything works as expected. But problem continues on MAC 10.5. So can anybody help me out in coming out of this issue on MAC 10.5.
Thanks in advance.The only thing I can suggest is that you open a bug (radar) with apple ( developer.apple.com ), and then wait at least 12 months for Apple to get around to fixing it :s

When forwarding a message, the "Preformat" (default) option gets rid of word wrapping in the original message.

When we receive email messages composed on iPhones or iPads, they read fine and are wordwrapped. When they are forwarded, the wordwrapping disappears in the "Forward" composition window and does not reappear at the recipient's computer. It seems to have something to do with the "Preformat" option for Paragraph Format. The other options will wordwrap, but also throw away any explicit carriage returns/ line feeds.
I don't know what is special about iOS text.
I've tried setting all "wrap" options in the config editor to True with no effect.
Ken

Thanks for the info. It partially helps.
When I receive a forwarded email originally from IOS, and just open it to read, there is no option on the edit menu for wrapping. Pressing Ctrl+R initiates a Reply (with old text still unwrapped).
An option while reading is to View -> Message Body As -> Plain Text (instead of HTML).
Finally, if I want to forward an IOS message, after I'm in the forwarding window I can press the Ctrl + R and it will wrap the text. 'Wrap' is also on the edit menu in this situation as you mentioned.
Thanks again for your response. I now have some options.

No option to set 'No Word Wrap At All' in TextEdit?

TextEdit is a great plain text editor, but there is one thing that I would assume frustrates developers; it always, always, ALWAYS wraps the text to either the window or the page. You cannot turn word wrap off completely. Even going fullscreen, sometimes I have a line of code that's simply too long and should continue off the screen. I have never seen a horizontal scrollbar using TextEdit. I am a minimalist (to an extent) developer and like to just use a simple plain text editor. Even *ahem* Microsoft Notepad allows you turn off word wrap completely. (Technically though, it does wrap eventually after...I don't know LOTS of characters).
But anyways, is there a trick to getting a long lines of code to appear as they should in TextEdit?
Would anyone, or has anyone already tried to rally the troops to get a fix in place to allow us to completely turn off word wrap in TextEdit?

Thank you guys. I know most developers don't consider TextEdit to be that great. I have tried TextWrangler, but there's too much going on there. I'm used to staring at thousands of lines of code in Notepad in my line of work, so I'm used to it. I don't want syntax highlighting, auto tabbing, etc. I'm just looking for a really, REALLY, simple text editor, and TextEdit is just fine, there's just no setting to turn off word wrap completely.
Thanks again.

Word Wrap very annoying?

I just switched over to Dreamweaver because of the built in ftp server functionality. So far, I have found it to be a very nice editor.
One problem I have it with wordwarp in the coding.
If a line is wrapped, why does it not indent to the same column that the line started on.
For example if I was inside several elements and this particular <p> started in column 20, if the line runs over, it wraps and the next line starts on column 1. This makes the code very hard to read as you have out of place text.
<body>
     <div>
          <p>This is just a long sentence with a bunch of rambling so the line will wrap back
around to the first column so you can see what I am talking about.
     <div>
</body>
It would be so much better if it looked like this:
<body>
     <div>
          <p>This is just a long sentence with a bunch of rambling so the line will wrap back
          around to the first column so you can see what I am talking about.
     <div>
</body>
Is there way to do this?
I have searched the adobe forums and google, but I feel like I am just searching for the wrong thing because all I ever come up with at the most is how to turn word wrapping on or off.

You can turn on that style of word wrapping, but it's not enabled by default because it relies on inserting a hard newline character each time a line is wrapped. Newline characters are treated by JavaScript as indicating the end of a statement, so this style of wrapping can break JavaScript on your page if you're not careful.
To enable hard wrapping with text indentation, open Preferences (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Code Format category. Select the Automatic wrapping checkbox and set the column (character) at which you want the line to be wrapped.
The Dreamweaver default is to use soft wrapping, which is controlled by View > Code View Options > Word Wrap. This option toggles soft wrapping on and off. A soft wrap automatically wraps code when it reaches the right edge of Code view, but without inserting a newline character.

Text Wrap options not showing in InDesign CS3

Using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4. I've had this problem for a couple of months now and it's getting past the point of annoying. When I open my text wrap options pallete it's blank even when I expand options. I can see the text wrap icons in my header panel, but I no longer have options to change the right/left/top/bottom margins. Just a general "add wrap" and "remove wrap". Is there any way I can get my pallete back? I've tried defaulting my tools, but still it does not show up. I don't know what to do to get it back.

Did you try resetting preferences? While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. If you don't get the message about deleting preferences, you weren't fast enough.

Webforms - Wrap Text/Word Wrap for Column Headings

I have some member aliases that are set as my webform's column headings, but they are fairly long. Setting the column width to a custom value that fits most of the text in the heading makes the form very wide and ugly to work with. I don't see any option to Wrap Text or use Word Wrap in the column headings. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not aware of any option which allows you to wrap the text, it may be possible customizing the [CSS |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_hp_admin/ch12s03.html] though to be honest I am not even sure about that and even if it was possible it would apply to all apps.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't cut it

I'm looking for a word processor without word wrap, text edit doesn't work. In text edit, it automatically scoots my text over to the next line but I just want it to keep going with a horizontal scrollbar. Is there a text editor I can download from the app store or can I get textedit to work somehow where it uses a horizontal scroll bar instead of entering text to the next line?

Hi,
thought TextWrangler can do it.
But it seems that the 'no word-wrap' "feature" isn't that much wanted anymore.
Maybe one of these http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/text%20editor can do it.

Word wrap in nano does not work.

Hello, I am trying to word wrap in nano the way it does in notepad and gedit (new line once you reach the edge of the screen/window). However, when I try nano -w rick.sh it give me the help screen and I see that -w is not an option. When I use set nowrap in the ~/.nanorc it says nowrap isn't recongized, also, -r <y> fails to work as well. What should I do?
Last edited by fawx (2008-10-15 01:34:45)

The reason might be the configure-parameter "--disable-wrapping" in nano's PKGBUILD. I would try this: get the PKGBUILD, remove the parameter, run makepkg. If makepkg finishes successfully, remove the nano-packages installed from repository and replace with the new created package.
