Courier not wrapping in tables

Unread post by Gerold Krommer »

I must be missing something very simple.

In tables I often have e.g. long path names that I format using 'Code Example'. Thisreallylongstrings do not wrap, but they get truncated in the PDF output. Other (proportional?) fonts do wrap.

I looked at the definitions, but can't find it.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

The Code Example style is set to no word wrap by default.

To change it:
  • Select some text that is formatted with the 'Code Example' style
  • Click the 'Styles' button on the 'Write' ribbon
  • Select 'Edit Styles...'. The 'Edit Styles' dialog will be displayed.
  • Click the 'Paragraph Settings' button. The 'Paragraph' dialog will be displayed.
  • Select the 'Line and Page Breaks' tab
  • Select (check) the 'Word wrap' check box.
  • Click OK to exit the 'Paragraph' dialog and again to exit the 'Edit Styles' dialog.
  • All text in the 'Code Example' style should now be word-wrapped.

Thanks. That was it.

I'm considering returning my university degree :-)

Maybe you could study for another degree instead of returning the one you've already got? With robots, self-driving cars, and A.I. threatening millions of jobs, investing in your brain makes more sense than ever. :wink:
