Word wrap

Hi,

Does an option exist to determine after which characters Text Fields are wrapped?

For example, it happens that the full stop at the end of a sentence is showed on the next line. In this case we'd prefer to see the entire last word together with the full stop on this next line.

Also, we'd like to define some characters after which we 'preferably' wrap the sentence, if possible ordered by preference (e.g. +-,')].;:!?/\ ).

The wrapping in Rich Text Fields happens in a different way, but it's not entirely clear in what way this exactly might be...

Hello,

Unfortunately this is not possible. You need use " character in any case.
For example, it happens that the full stop at the end of a sentence is showed on the next line. In this case we'd prefer to see the entire last word together with the full stop on this next line.

Our report engine use GDI Plus for drawing text. We can't control how it wrap text.

In this case for outputting text used MS dll - Riched20.dll. This is why it output text in other way.

Thank you.
