I am fairly new at this using FP2003

I have created a DWT and linked a few pages.
On one of the pages there is quite a bit of text to add. When I add the
text, it automatically expands the cell I am working in which makes
everything else out of wack??
Can anybody help?
 
Table/cells are minimums and will always expand to fit the non wrapable content

Thanks Stefan but is there anyway of wrapping the text so that it fits within
the cell rather than expanding it?
 
If the text you are entering is a long string of characters with no spaces,
no. In other words, there is no way to 'programmatically' wrap a text entry
like this -

Type in what you want to be on the 1st line
Then in code view add <br> to look like this:
Type in what you want to be on the 1st line<br>

Do this for every line of text. <br> is a carriage return.
Works for me anyway.

You don't have switch to Code View, just press SHIFT+Enter.

Thanks for your input guys. I have been doing the shift+enter thing but
thought there may be a quicker way as there is a lot of text on the page.
Cheers Stadinx
 
What are you forcing the lines to wrap?

Thats what i thought. Only, it pushes the cell out by about 20px making it
wider than the other pages on my site?, leaving some of the grpahics out of
proportion.
 
Using SHIFT+Enter (<br>) will still not solve the problem with any content that can not wrap.
