Yes, I think so. Just hit Enter from time to time. You can make it more obvious using one (or both) or tow techniques: * Disable text wrapping by deselecting 'Enable text wrapping' on the View tab of the preferences. * Show where the 80th character column is by selecting 'Display right margin' on the View tab of the preferences. I don't particularly care about 80 columns. I'm good with 100 or so characters per line. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
