Word Wrapping in Layout Element

Hi -

Included in my database are two text fields that are very "high" (enough to contain about 5 or 6 lines of text).

One of them does exactly what I want.  When you get to the end of the "box," the lines continue to wrap.

The other one, however, does not wrap; instead the text continues (seemingly ad-invinitum) in one continuous line ... and I have to expand the field to read it.

I cannot find anything different in my layout design but obviously I must have done something differently in the box that doesn't wrap.

Help, please.  I'm using it now.   Embarrassed

Hello Spencer,

Check to make sure that they are both multi-line text elements.

I had the same issue until I realized the data had no spaces in it. I guess the data must have a space in order to wrap.

Hello Steve,

Yes, the data must have a space in it in order for Sesame to wrap. Sesame will not break up a word in order to wrap.

Ray -

I must apologize.  I had seen your answer and, indeed, that was the problem.

I was perplexed becuse I never "fooled" with that selection in the first place.

In any event, I had written you a reply and, apparently, I must have previewed it but neglected to "post" it.  So, unbeknowst to me - it would appear that I had never responded ... even though I thought I had.

My apologies ... and thank you for the easy solution to my (past) problem.
