[oXygen-user] Maintaining line length

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

The value of the option "Print margin column" remains 200 as you set it 
in Preferences -> Editor -> Pages -> Text and a vertical line is painted 
in Text mode at a distance of 200 characters from the left margin of the 
editor. This is the print margin enabled and disabled with the option 
"Show print margin".

The wrap limit used by the Format and Indent action, by the option 
"Format and indent the document on open" and by the option "Hard line 
wrap (Limit to "Line width - Format and Indent")" is set with the option 
called "Line width - Format and Indent". So you have to set the value 
200 in the option "Line width - Format and Indent" instead of "Print 
margin column". All these wrap options are available in Preferences -> 
Editor -> Format.

You disable the automatic line wrapping by disabling the option "Format 
and indent the document on open". By default this option is disabled.


Regards,
Sorin
