Word Wrap
Recently a friend was emails me on a regular basis decided after a few discussions on the matter of wasted paper to adjust the wrap figure in Outlook Express.

Since completing this and going through numerous changes to the figure for text to wrap we have never been able to us a full sheet of A4 paper from margin to margin (say half inch either side)

The standard setting of 76 characters only reaches just over half the page and when printing out documents this is not satisfactory.

Alterations seem to produce all manner of formation problems involving many lines with a single or couple of words on a single line.

Has anyone else had this problem or better still found a solution within the OE formatting system that utilises paper better than the standard setting.

Thanks for the consideration

eyelash,

Welcome to TSG.

Why not take OE out of the equation and let the recipient's printer handle the word wrap?

In OE go to Tools > Options > Send > {HTML Settings or Plain Text Settings}

For Encode text using select Quoted printable.

This will disable the OE specified word wrap. The printer should detect when it gets to the right margin and wrap the text.
