Wordwrap Help

Thank You for your quick response. I have a new laptop with Vista installed and my favorite application, Alleycode, will not work with Vista.

So, I am searching for something else to use for developing websites with HTML and CSS. Most of my customers have a lot of documents and publications which I have to manually convert from ASCII text for the websites.

My latest project had 117 publications which were converted to HTML, Word, and Adobe PDF.

Yes, the wordwrap setting is set to "Off" by default (there was no mention of it being "On" by default, the tips above are not specific to Komodo's default settings, but are rather general performance tips).

You can set the wordwrap setting to be "On" by default by going into Komodo's global preferences (using the Edit->Preferences menu, or About->Preferences menu on a Mac). Navigate to the "Editor->Smart Editing" category and change the "Wrap long lines by:" setting to "Word" or "Character", as you prefer.

After setting this, all files opened in Komodo should be using wordwrap and wrapping the text where it would otherwise disappear off to the right of the screen. The only exception to this is if you've actually set the wordwrap setting on the file itself (overriding the global preference) to be "Off". The current file override settings can be seen through the "Edit->Current file settings" menu.

If this is not occurring then it is a Komodo bug and I encourage you to report the problem at:

Wordwrap option

According to your information here the wordwrap option is defaulted to "On". Yet, in the Komodo Edit 4.1 it is defaulted to "Off" and I can not find a way to turn it to a default of "On". I am converting a group of documents to different formats for use on a website. But, had to give up when I had to keep manually turning the wordwrap option to "On" for each new page and document.
How do I get this option to be set to default "On"?
Thanks
