No web page should be designed with text lines more than about 60
characters wide; it's just hard to read (or to use a technical term,
"dysfunctional"). If you must use all that real estate, use multiple
columns or boxes so none is wider than about 60 characters.
Did you ever notice
how quickly
you can read
newspaper columns?
That's because
you can take in
the whole line
at a glance.
As, Paul, if the page is wide, you can waste time "finding" which start
of line, on left of page, is the continuation of the end of line on the
right of page. (at least I can!!)
