Hello,

When typing text into my web page, it doesn't move onto the next line when
reaching the end of the screen, but instead just goes on and on to where I have
a one-line, seven-foot wide web page. How do I go about setting "wordwrap" in
Dreamweaver, as in word processing programs?

Thanks for all assistance

The first thing is that HTML authoring has no similarity to word processing.

Now, just to make sure that we understand what you are doing, can you tell
us exactly the steps we can use to reproduce this? You are starting from a
blank page? And you just begin to enter content?

Hello,

Yes, you are correct, and instead of moving onto the next line after I reach the right side end of the page, it just keeps on going more and more to the right. What do I do?

Thanks

Hmm - did you miss this part?

I think what Murray is getting at is, are you creating a layout first using
either CSS or tables before you start entering text? It sounds like you really
don't have a good handle on html and css. Dreamweaver will be a nightmare if
you don't get at least a basic understanding of the concepts of web page
design.

Maybe it's his friend, but his friend has nothing to do with the question.

Why not just write "Google is your friend" - that's a more popular useless
answer.

What do you do? Check for two things.
1] Are you typing in a table cell? If so, is the cell set to "no wrap"?
2] Do you have any CSS applied to the page? If so, is the text-wrap
property used anywhere?

In DW8 Code View:
View --> Code View Options --> Word Wrap
