Title

Word Wrap Margins Within Unprotected Fields

Product

Emulation Types

Issue

I have enabled word wrap and set my margins, however words that extend past the right margin do not wrap to the next line. What would cause this behavior?

Solution

If the left and right margins are not set within the unprotected area of the screen, then the word wrap feature will appear not to work.

 

For example, if the unprotected field you are typing in ends in column 70 and your right margin is set to column 71, then word wrapping will not occur, even if it is enabled. Your right margin should be set to column 70 or lower for word wrap to work correctly.
