Well, if that is what "Justify on wrap" means you could simply say
"Blocksatz". :-) I'm just testing it, and, yeah, it's true!
I think the reasons why I turned this "feature" off are a) that it is
causing superfluos blanks (which causes headaches when being quoted),
and b) that the whole word wrap gets garbled when doing "indents"
(Einz�ge).
On top of that, I'm just seeing that "Alt-J" ("J" for "justify" I
assume) is the shortcut for "Blocksatz" (see "Dienstprogramme/Auswahl
formatieren"). Well, so all in all it seems you're right.
But apart from the goods and bads of writing in "Blocksatz": "Umbruch
anzeigen" is definitely a wrong and misleading translation for that.
That's where I wanted to point at. And I wonder why it is translated as
"Blocksatz" in the editor's menu itself and as "Umbruch anzeigen" in the
editor's preference settings.
Best regards,
