A Stupid Microsoft Word Question

A permanent evil?

I think word wrapping is a necessity to stay on the paper! You can force a line break anywhere you want to though, so I guess I don't understand what the problem is.

Are you talking about automatic text wrapping that splits a word in two creating a hyphenated word? That can be turned off.

Or are you talking about have the text "left justified" (where the text ends unevenly, as it would on a typewriter) as opposed to "full justified" (where the text is evenly justified on both left and right sides) which doesn't look like a typewriter?

Or are you talking about viewing the document in "Normal" mode, so it looks like it's on a piece of paper?

I'm confused.

In any case, those are your options (above).

Would a scanner help?

I seem to recall that, when you use OCR (optical character recognition) software to scan a piece of paper as text, it preserves the original line breaks.

It's been a while since I've tried that, though, so I may be misremembering.

Ummm i MIGHT understand what you are saying... but no i dont think it is possible as using turning off text wrapping defeats the entire point of having a computer and not a typewriter.............

HOWEVER.....

i might suggest scanning the document, and then using text boxes (with no line, and no background color) to place the text over where your co-worker needs it. Good Luck!
