For me this is more of a question on what application are you using to read your 'text' documents and does it support wrapping.
If you create a single paragraph in OOo, then save as plain text there is probably no carriage returns (unless you put one at the end of the paragraph). When you open this in a text reader, the reader then determines whether to wrap the single line or not (which will be based largely on its own functionality). For instance, in notepad, there is the option to either have word wrap turned on, or not. This then drives whether the text appears within the window that I've defined, or as a single line. Let me know if I've missed something by replying to the list. /paul On 11/11/05, Tam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi -- > > I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but here goes anyway -- > > I create my documents in Ooo and save them in several different > formats.
