Turn off all kinds of wrapping in MS Word 2003
In order to add comments to a long text printout, I am chosing to use MS
Word 2003. (Suggestions for alternative are welcome) The problem is that I cannot turn off wrapping of text at all. The best I can do is Options-View-Wrap to Window. However, this isn't good enough... Is there a way to turn off the wrapping so and use horizontal scroll bar (for the purpose it was designed for)? |

No. What you want is a text editor, not a word processor. Try using NotePad or, if you want something programmable, any of the "programmer's text editor" programs. I favor UltraEdit, but there are lots of them. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Wow, that's really useless advice. I was only asking about MS Word 2003.

Re-read your own post -
You asked if text wrap could be turned off in Word 2003 & the reply was No, along with a brief explanation of why. You stated that "Suggestions for alternative are welcome", and same was offered. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Alex Ferenstein" wrote in message ... Wow, that's really useless advice.

LOL Funny how when some folks don't get the answer they are looking for, especially when it's the only answer, they blame your advice. ~Beth Melton |
