I'm using a database to generate letter templates, and then customizing as needed by creating a new record and tailoring as needed.

The main message body of each letter is contained in a text Edit Box field. My issue is that if a word extends past the edge of the field, the typed text just wraps around to the next line. What I'd like it to do is realize the width limitations of the field and move the whole word to start on the next line, like a Microsoft Word document might. Any suggestions?

Line wrapping SHOULD be happening automatically. Here are a couple common culprits:

1. In File->File Options, under Text, make sure 'Use Roman language line-breaking' is checked.

2. In OS X, not using Font Smoothing causes wierd spacing issues like this. I don't know if there's an equivelant setting in Windows.
