So there is no sort of automatic way like using a markup command for the
susceptible fields instead of splitting manually a line on different lines?
Well, how is the automatic command to know how to do this? As you
will see from the autmatic wrapping in e.g. deparse(), we are not able
to do a very good job.
There has been some talk about doing this automatically as a backstop,
but I don't know the current state: in any case it does not happen in
released versions of R.
True that this doesn't happen in Arguments field (I confused with
Format field).
Also true that the codes used in Usage, Examples etc are in
courrier. Is there any way to reduce the size and not to change the
font of character for these fields?
You can change Rd.sty, which already contains options for using
other fontsets.
Best,
Carol

Thank you very much Uwe. It works now.
I have a question about pdf formating in pdf manual
file:
How to format the long lines which go to the margin?
For ex, this happens in Usage field if a function has many
arguments. Also, it happens in examples or Arugment sections
when the lines are long.
Correct the sources by re-formatting over-long lines
yourself. (This should only happen in verbatim-like
sections, hence unlikely to happen in \argument{}.)
One of the things we suggest when checking a package is to
read through the PDF manual, and this is one of the problems
to look out for. (Note that it does depend on the
fonts used for the PDF, but the default Courier for
monospaced text is somewhat wide.)
