Question
QUESTION: Is there a "wrap" feature in Word?

ANSWER: Hi Sam,

I'm not quite sure what you mean by wrap?  Do you mean text wrapping at the end of the paragraph or wrapping around a graphic, or something else?  Thanks!

Sincerely,
Jean

QUESTION: Sorry. I mean't text wrapping. I don't understand it. Thanks

Answer
Hi Sam,

Text wrapping in Word is automatic and is based on the margins.  The easiest way to see how your margins are set is to click on the View Ruler button at the top of the vertical scrollbar on the right side of the screen (in Word 2007).  Then you can move the sliders around to set your margins, hanging margins, indents, etc.  You can also set margins under the Page Layout tab and indents under the Paragraph section of the Home tab.  I hope this helps!

Cheers,
Jean

Expertise

I am happy to answer questions about formatting and layout, mail merge, tables, graphics, tracking changes, outlining, and more. I currently use Word 2007, but I can also answer many questions about Word 2003.

Experience

I have worked professionally on MS Word since 1992 when v2.0 was launched. For one employer, I created several macros to address the issues of translating a document from a Sun-based desktop publisher to Word and then from Word to ASCII (a VERY specific application). I have created mail merge letters and labels, fliers and brochures, concert programs, investment company documents, large running tables, along with the more ordinary word processing documents.

Education/Credentials
B.A from the University of Minnesota Participated in several work-required training sessions on the entire MS Office Suite, the latest being on the transition between Office 2003 and Office 2007. I have also conducted training sessions on Word and Excel within my work setting.
