How can I prevent word wrap from splitting words? Discussion in 'Microsoft Powerpoint' started by Guest, Aug 16, 2005. I have a text box that splits words based on the size of the box with word. Text to wrap in the middle of a word'. Removing the tick in the second row.

This has been bugging me for a while. It never seemed to happen with power points that I made my self from scratch, but sometimes when editing others ppts I found that some words would move onto a new line in the middle of the word.

Considering I'm constantly telling the students not to do that, it was pretty irritating. Better text editor for mac reddit. Anyway, I searched before on how to stop it, and couldn't find anything on here or elsewhere. Maybe I used the wrong search terms, because when I googled it again today, I found this, which cleared it up for me. I hope this helps someone. It helped me.

Looks like it has solutions for a bunch of different versions of power point as well. The 2007 stuff worked for me. Quote PowerPoint adds odd linebreaks, breaks lines in odd places or in the middle of words Problem You have some text.

For example: apples, peaches, pears, lions, tigers, bears, oh, my With word-wrap turned on, it should look like this: apples, peaches, pears, lions, tigers, bears, oh, my but instead it looks like apples, peaches, pe ars, lions, tigers, be ars, oh, my or apples, peaches, pears, lions, tig ers, bears, oh, my or apples, peaches, pears, lions, tiger s, bears, oh, my depending on how you resize the textbox. Any word at the end of a line will break after the character closest to the margin, and wrap to the next line without a hyphen. Solution Try enabling Japanese and changing the option to allow a break. Here's how: In PowerPoint 2003 and previous: Go to Start Programs Office Microsoft Office Tools Microsoft Office 2003 Language Settings. Choose Japanese and add it to 'enabled languages.' Then start PowerPoint, open your file, and choose the text box in question.
