Hmmm. I don't know. It has worked nicely in all the instances I've
tried.

I don't really use the trick myself so I haven't really been testing
it much.

Upon testing it further there's one terrible thing I now realize.
The paste formatted options seems to reflow like OE and others like
it.

It works beautifully when reflowing multiple unwrapped paragraphs
like from a Word document or from an OE user who doesn't wrap the
text sent to others. However, if the text is already wrapped, it
will wrap with the OE type effect.

Here's an example:

Test block unwrapped:

Test block wrapped by copying and then pasting using Paste
Formatted:

Oops. Not so good, is it. :(

It's an interesting option but with a crippling weakness. It doesn't
properly re-wrap already wrapped text.



It would appear that the only way to do it is through the use of
complex macros. These have been already posted:

Create a quick template named 'wc' and copy and paste in it the
macros below:


%COMMENT="%CLIPBOARD"%-
%QINCLUDE="wrap2"
%COMMENT=""


Create another quick template named 'wrap2' and copy/paste in it the
regex macro below:


%IF:'%-
%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)[^\n]+"%-
%REGEXPMATCH="%COMMENT"'<>'':'%-
%-
%WRAPPED=_%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n((\w{0,5}(\>\s*)+)?\n){1,}(.*)$|\z)"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%COMMENT"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT="1"_
%-
%COMMENT=_%SETPATTREGEXP="(?is-m)^.*?(\n((\w{0,5}(\>\s*)+)?\n){1,}(.*)\s*$|\z)"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%REGEXPBLINDMATCH="%COMMENT"%-
%-%-%-%-%-%SUBPATT="5"_
%-
%QINCLUDE="wrap2"'


Done. Now when you wish to reflow your multiple paragraphs, just
copy the text to clipboard using CTRL-X, then apply the quick
template wc by typing wc then CTRL-<space>.

Your text will be reinserted wrapped.
