Texts wrap around the end of text box incorrectly -- how to fix?

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

The texts sometimes wrap around the end of the text box with incorrect word splits. I want words to stay intact, so overflowing words should just be on the next line instead of the wrap around. How to fix this?

Example: "submit" and "please"

    Hi @Anonymous 

    Use an HTML text box for those.

    That is odd because mine doesn't.

    Hi @Drrickryp , apparently for mine, I had to "back space" on the words that are wrapped, then enter "space" again, and then it will wrap correctly. Me simply copying and pasting the text into the html box will cause that weird wrap problem.

    Just recently, I faced same issue on textbox.

    I took data from SharePoint list multiline of text.

    The reason is because of non break space in original text.

    You can use the following function to replace all non break space with normal space

     

    substitute(/original_text/," "," ")

    Replace your text value in /original_text/

    The first space in function is non break space where I copied from original text.

    The second space is normal space.

     

    This approach help me to resolve the issue.
