Exeo 0 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi! So I managed to turn off word wrap in one of my notes. I must be dumb, how do I turn it back on again? Thanks! Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,115 Posted January 24, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted January 24, 2016 I don't believe there is a setting for word wrap. sometimes it appears to get turned off when you copy or clip from a web page. You can try Format > Simplify Formatting. This often fixed issues like this. Link to comment
BrightLights 6 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 All my notes (5000+) have suddenly lost their word wrap. Content display is too wide for the note window. Windows 7. This is nothing to do with formatting. 'Simplify Formatting' makes no difference. This is not caused by web content, or hyperlinks. I can copy content into a text editor and copy it back into a note -- there is no word wrap. I can type directly into a new note and there is no word wrap. Link to comment

The first attempt to recover is a restart of your computer. What versions of OS and Evernote are you running? Link to comment
BrightLights 6 Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Thanks, but I'm a bit beyond a restart. I mean that a restart occurred very early in the attempt to find and fix. Nothing whatsoever changed that is under my control. Having restarted and seen the problem still there, I left it for the day. Overnight, with my machine on the whole time, the problem disappeared. Today, my notes are wrapped as normal. I have seen this particular behavior once before in Evernote and that time also it just was no longer there when I opened Evernote the next day. I realize there is absolutely no logic to this -- or none that I can see, at least -- but there it is. That's what happened. Twice. Not much help to anybody else but, along with 'restart' I'll just add 'wait until tomorrow' to my magic fixes. Link to comment
sgarcata 49 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 makes me wonder if it initiated a sync after you left which sorted it out. Link to comment
Graham Seaman 0 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Same thing just happened to me...but I chose the 'simplify formatting' option and it has seemed to fix it...very strange! Link to comment
TIddly27 39 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The problem with simplify formatting, it removes all kinds of formating especially with merges. Very strange Link to comment
sgarcata 49 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Formatting is the bete noire of Evernote. It is terrlible at it. I've just given up on it and appreciate it for its other attributes, but I'm getting close to giving a serious look at MS One Note Link to comment
feralreason 0 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Simplify formatting didn't work for me. However, try selecting all in a note (ctrl-a), cut it (ctrl-x) and then "Paste and Match Style" (ctrl-shift-v). That does work, although you may have to go through and re-establish normal, "bold" & "italics" formatting that were lost. Link to comment
