Word Wrap in a text file
Browsers do not "word wrap" text files. A new line occurs only where a carriage return occurs. Press the ENTER key to insert a carriage return.  To see how your text file will appear in a browser, click the "Preview Website" button at anytime.

Note: A Spreadsheet page does wrap text.
