WordPad text runs off screen due to option not selected.
Cause:
The word wrap option is set to either 'No Wrap' or 'Wrap to ruler', allowing the text to run off the window.
Solution:
Set the wrap option to wrap to screen under the 'Options...' in the 'View' menu.
NOTE: This solution assumes that WordPad is opened.
1) Select 'Options...' from 'View' menu. (The 'Options' dialog box appears.)
2) Click the appropriate tab.
NOTE: Wrap options are set for specific file types, not as a global setting.
3) Select the appropriate word wrap option from the 'Word wrap' group.
