Text wrapping in the Task Name Field

[sfarris7]

In the same PP, some of my tasks will allow text wrapping in the Task Name
Field, but some continue to truncate on the screen even when I widen the box.
Any ideas?

Julie - The following paragraph was helpful. I spefically had "requirements"
separated by a comma with no spaces and this caused the problem:

Microsoft Project will only wrap text in table fields if the following
conditions exist: • The row height is set to a number greater than 1.
• The column width is too narrow to display all the text on one line.
• The column is Left aligned. (This does not apply to Microsoft Project
2002.)
• The text includes spaces between words.

NOTE: This last condition is especially important. Microsoft Project
attempts to wrap text by breaking a line at a space between text characters.
If your text string consists of a single line of characters with no embedded
spaces, it will not wrap to a second line even if one is available.
