Word wrap in design editor when zoomed

Hello
I use 9.0.1 version of RoboHelp HTML and I'm working on a shared project. I have a Dell Laptop and also have an external monitor that I have configured as an extended desktop. The external monitor is what I use to edit in RoboHelp. The resolution is set to 1366 x 768.
I'm finding that when I edit topics in Robohelp at 100%, it is difficult to read the text, I must be showing my age! OK, I admit to wearing multifocal lenses.
Anyway, I would really love to be able to zoom up to 125% or even 110%, but the problem is that the text does not wrap and I end up having to scroll sideways to see an entire line. I've even closed or minimized some of my other panes to increase my real estate for the main Design window but still end up having to scroll.
Also, I don't want to make any changes that would potentially affect the output, e.g. Page Setup changes.
I found a similar question to mine dating back two years http://forums.adobe.com/message/2530838 which shows a status of 'unanswered'- although some people did reply with suggestions including to raise a new feature request ticket.
I'm hoping that RoboHelp has included this as a new feature in the meantime and I just dont' know how to access it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Rose

Sorry but this is a longstanding complaint.

No text wrapping in Design Editor display

Good morning All!
Something has happened to RH and when I look at Design Editor, the text is no longer wrapping the way it used to and I have to constantly move the scroll bar at the bottom of the interface to read what exists at the far right of the screen. (I am not referring to the text wrapping feature around a graphic.)
I have no idea what happened, its been like this for a couple days.
I sure would like to see my entire topic in the Design Editor w/o having to use the scroll bar! That's time consuming and a bit annoying.
I'd really appreciate some help.......
I am using Version 8.02208.

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.

Word Wrap functionality in HTML Editor

Hi,
Is their any configuration to enable the word wrap functionality in HTML Editor.
Best Regards,

Hi Priyaranjan,
you need to use modules for that. The below link explains step by step a sample for word wrapping in an analysis item.

Word wrap enabled when viewing page source?

Am using Safari Version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17). OS is 10.8.2. "Show Develop in menu bar" is checked. I would like word wrap enabled when I view the page source, scrolling horizontally is getting old. Thanks for any help, it's been frustrating!!

It's been a few days, no response. I'm a bit surprised, as I would think there is a solution.
Thanks again for any help, it would be highly appreciated!

Word wrapping: Tab behavior in TLF editor

Hi,
I have created an editor using TLF which has word-wrapping enabled. The editor also takes in the Tab key and places it at prober position. In case you insert Tab at the beginning of the line except for the first line then the TAB is inserted in the previous line and it does not get wrapped.
Is there any way in which I can acheive word wrapping for Tabs? I have observed similar behavior for SPACE as well.
Why is such a behavior in the both the cases?

We are using the TLF bundled with Flex 4.1.0.16076, latest production release. You can verify the problem here in this demo:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/
Type two lines, make sure they wrap. At the beginning of the second line press the tab key multiple times. The tabs will stack up on the end of the first line.
If this is fixed in a newer version of TLF, is it safe to use with flex 4.1?
Thanks,
Ryan

Livecycle Designer 8.0 word wrap problem

Here is the link to the application I made
http://www.nevadajudiciary.us/index.php/view-documents-and-forms/func-startdown/309/
I am using Full* with script xfa.host.setFocus("FieldName"); to get my form to word wrap, but it is cutting off a letter before it does the word wrap to the next line. Is there any way to not orphan that letter and just move to the next line? Is there some better script out there for what I am trying to do?

You are asking for a world of hurt if you try and handle the word wrap yourself. Not to mention the movement from one line to the next.
Is there anyway you can change their minds? That technique is more in tune with a printed form as opposed to an online ffillable orm.

Textflow and flowComposer word wrap

Hi
I have a word wrap question re...
I have a textflow that I'm splitting into multiple sprites (pages). I also have a columnCount of 2, so the text fits into two columns, and then continues onto the next page.
Here's an example of the text...
testString+='<p ALIGN="LEFT">Description</p><textformat blockindent=10>Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line '+i+'</textformat>';
... and I've concatenated it 500 times so I have a decent length test string to put into the textFlow.
Which comes out like (imagine 3 lines per page)...
Description                                                                                                Description
Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 1            Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 4
Description                                                                                                Description
Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 2            Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 5
Description                                                                                                Description
Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 3            Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 6
(page break)
Description                                                                                                Description
Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 7            Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 10
Description                                                                                                Description
Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 8            Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 11
Description                                                                                                Description
Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 9            Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 12
(etc for about 10 pages until we get to the 500th pair)
It works nicely, however, I'm wondering how you set it up to NOT word wrap on 'Product details with decent length that that overruns the column line 1' - so in other words, cut that line of if it hits the column edge?
I tried LineBreak.EXPLICIT, but that only allows one page to be created, and no word wrapping occurred.
Or is there a way to set it up within an html tag?
Thank you.

The "Name" text bounding box that I've created is set to a specific height/width (and needs to stay that way) with a font size of 94.22 pt; however, some of the names are REALLY long and are too big for the bounding box. They word-wrap. When I run the "data merge," I need Photoshop to automatically resize the text in the bounding box so that it doesn't word wrap.
That is not possible its a contradiction resized text would not be font size 94.22. Data driven graphics as far as I know does not have any text re-sizing feature. Your template needs to be sized to support the longest text possible.   Text length need to be limited to fit within the space provided in the template psd file.
It may be possible to write a Photoshop script to resize text layers to fit within some bounds. However is not possible to explain to you thoroughly in simple terms that would enable you to write the script. You most likely know the logic needed to do the resize and really don't need it explained to you.   What you lack is Photoshop scripting knowledge. You have no script programming skills. Learning a supported scripting language takes time and of top that you need to learn Adobe Document Object Model and it limitations and about Adobe's Scriptlistener Plug-in that records Action Manager scripting code. Developing Photoshop scripts is not an easy user feature like Adobe Actions Palette recorder/editor. Scripts need to be designed and programmed and debugged.
Scripts are easy to use like actions and are more powerful then actions. You most likely have use some that are shipped with Photoshop, Image Processor, Fit Image, Photomerge, lens correction etc. Find your Photoshop version version Presets\Scripts folder and open any of the .jsx file in the folder in a text editor see if you can understand somewhat what is written. If you can you may want to learn scripting Photoshop. Most Photoshop users never write a Photoshop script.

Using the CTRL button to select multiple text segments in Design Editor

Hi there,
This may be a fairly elementary question, however I'm very new to RoboHelp.
I'm currently building an online help text system, and when formatting my html files in Design Editor, I have to apply styles one at a time. I was hoping RoboHelp would have a function identical to Microsoft Word whereby holding down the CTRL key would allow you to select various segments in the file and apply the style. Eg. selecting only text you want to apply Heading 3 to.
If RoboHelp does not have this functionality, this project will take me in the vicinity of 7 years to complete. Thanks for your time.
Regards,
PK

No it doesn't work that way. What you need to do is create some character styles in your style sheet and apply those.
Paragraph styles are defined something like
P {
    font-size: 10pt;
    margin-top: 0pt;
    margin-bottom: 6pt;
    font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
    color: #000000;
    font-weight: normal;
P.Normal-Indent {
    margin-left: 20pt;
where the second P definition will inherit all that is in P plus add the indent.
When you select those styles, they will be applied to the whole paragraph.
You can also create characters classes. If you do it within RoboHelp, RH will write the CSS code for you. If you edit the CSS outside RH, then instead of writing P or some other tag, you would normally start with the full stop so you might have
.code {
    font-size: xx-small;
    font-family: Courier;
to apply the Courier font to a selection in any paragraph style.
In RoboHelp you need to prefix the character code with "span" to make it display in the dropdown, thus you would need:
span.code {
    font-size: xx-small;
    font-family: Courier;

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

Word wrap problems in 36.0

When entering text into a web form the text no longer "wraps" at the end of the box. The first part of the text runs off the left side. It is working fine in THIS text entry box but is now a problem on some other sites.
See: http://www.thedirectoryclassifieds.com. Start placing a listing and then start entering text into the description box. Once you reach the end of the line the text does not wrap, just runs off the left side as typing continues. After this testing, just exit (back out) without continuing placing the listing.
When encountering this problem I did a test on another computer that had 35.0.1 and word wrapping worked fine. Then I upgraded to 36.0 on that computer and now the problem is there too.
So this definitely means a problem with 36.0 as it wasn't there in earlier versions.

That particular form control has:
<textarea id="main_description" name="b[description]" '''style="white-space: pre;"''' class="editor field"></textarea>
For the first time in Firefox 36, the white-space property is being honored for textarea controls. So there's your trouble: "pre" means Firefox should emulate the preformatted tag, which requires manual line breaks.
It would be great if you can convince the site to change this to:
<textarea id="main_description" name="b[description]" '''style="white-space: pre-wrap;"''' class="editor field"></textarea>
which is supported by all modern browsers (per the compatibility table here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/white-space#Browser_compatibility]).
But that likely will take some time, so what is the best short-term workaround? I need to think about that a bit.
To manually hack this form control, you can right-click it and choose Inspect Element (Q). This should open the web console to the Inspector in the lower part of the tab. Firefox should highlight the HTML tag I listed first above, and on the right, show the style rules for it. Under "This Element" you can uncheck the box for that rule to have the textarea styled using default rules. But you would need to do this after each time you load the page, which is a hassle.

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.

Word wrapping in site studio?

Hello,
I'm trying to develop in Site Studio 7 and finding it cumbersome the way I always have to scroll across to view code. I've tried 'enable line wrapping' in the view -> customise menu, this doesn't seem to have any effect. Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?
Cheers
M.Mix

"Line wrapping" is not word wrapping. It inserts a physical line break when the line exceeds the specified length. If the text is continuous (no spaces) then no break is inserted. Pointless and yuck. We've been complaining about it for years, maybe Oracle's 11g release might address it.

JEditorPane word wrap problems

I am using a JEditorPane in a chat window that is used, like instant messenger, between two clients. The ability to insert icons and different fonts is available after setting the editor kit to an HTMLEditorKit. However, after using an HTMLEditorKit, the word wrapping is a bit funky in that the words are cut off when wrapping.
Is there any way to get aroudn this while STILL using a JEditorPane (or something similar that can accept HTML?). I would be able to use JTextPane, which wraps correct (I believe...I'm trying to think back to my first implementation), but the icons begin to get tricky there. I know how to insert them, but if I have multiple icons, I would need to find all of the first occuring icons since the string needs to be printed immediately to the screen.
Thanks for any help.

I don't have an HTML document. Maybe you are mis-interpreting what I am trying to do :)
I am implementing a simple instant messenger (much like AIM). Right now, I have a JEditorPane that is using an HTMLEditorKit to render HTML. This is used to display emoticons and also change the font and font color. So, the HTML I am generating is manually put in there in the code so text will show up differently - say, the senders name will be red and the recipient will be blue.
Everything is working fine, except the text is wrapping and words are being cut off. In other words, this is happening:
| This is an exa |
| mple of some |
| thing that is ha |
| ppenning in m |
| y chat window. |
-----------------------

Settings that may prohibit word wrap.

Are there any settings in InDesign preferences or anywhere else that might prohibit word wrap from working in a document. The word wrap functions in a design file I'm working on are not working, but when I do the same steps in a new blank document it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Off the top of my head:
1. No Break set as a default text attribute.
2. Unbreakable long words and hyphenation switched off.
3. A font so large, and a text frame so narrow, that poor ID cannot find a valid breaking point in the very first word.
