WORD WRAP?

Am I missing something? If I type into a text box the letters just keep getting smaller instead of wrapping to the next line. I've tried everything! What gives? Surely they must have a "word wrap" function. It's the most basic function of text editing. Tell me I'm doing something wrong. Please!

Use the <RETURN> key where you want to break lines. I like this functionality, it lets me control how wide the text box is, but grows it as I type until I hit <RETURN>.

I know what to do. It's just that if you are taking text that was laid out in MS Word or any other program, you can't simply copy and paste the text.

For instance this would be very handy when adapting web content for DVD.

At least we should have the option to do it either way. I see why you would want to do it the other way.

If you set the font size to a constant the letters will
not auto-scale as you type. I think you can paste without
bad things happening. I do know that if you try to resize
the text box it will go back to auto-size.
