Word Wrap and Line Breaks wonky

[Kim Goddard]

Help! I'm trying to paste text copied from InDesign, and I get the
following problems:
1) words breaking wierd, but not hyphenating (for example: clic <line
break>ks)
2) lines breaking, but cannot delete the line break without deleting
everything that follows

I have made sure the language is english, that hyphenation is set.
I've tried pasting special as rich text and unformated text and
nothing is working.
I have found the following article that Microsoft acknowledges this
problem but can't find the remedy. Does anyone have any further
information on this annoying, making me Hulk-grade angry problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time!

OL2000: Word Wrap Truncating when Viewing or Printing

The information in this article applies to:

* Microsoft Outlook 2000

This article was previously published under Q241010

SYMPTOMS
When printing or previewing a plain text message, Outlook 2000 does
not wrap lines correctly. Some lines may break at what appears to be
inappropriate places and some may contain only one or two words.

CAUSE
There are hard <CR><LF> characters inserted in the text; these are
spaced evenly at every 64 characters.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft
products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

Hi Kim:

If you paste from most applications, even as unformatted text, you will keep
hard line-breaks. This is not a problem (except to you and Hulk...) it's by
design.

To fix it, paste all of your text in, and then run a search for ^p^p to ^p
then another search for ^l to " " (a space, without the quotes).

That'll fix it.

Cheers
