MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / October 2007Turn 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)? >In order to add comments to a long text printout, I am chosing to use MS >Word 2003.

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. > No. What you want is a text editor, not a word processor. 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.  SignatureRegards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac > Wow, that's really useless advice.

I didn't think the Word 2003 advice "set the zoom to 1% with wrap to window on" was more to your liking ... 0.02¢ Robert Signature/"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word > Hi Alex > >> 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
