To enable auto word wrap you need to do a :set tw=72 ie set the textwidth to 72 characters. or put it on your .vimrc without the : auto formating you can do in command mode with gqap there's probably a shorter way of doing it or you can probably alias it to something shorter but I've never looked into it. -- John Ferlito Senior Engineer Bulletproof Networks ph: +61 (0) 2 9663 9000 fax: +61 (0) 2 9662 4744 mob: +61 (0) 410 519 382 http://www.bulletproof.net.au/ This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may be legally privileged.
