Hi,
It depends on what library you're using. If you're using the AWT text
control, the scrollbars policy you set determines whether or not there is
word wrapping. If you use the Swing's JTextArea, there should be a property
in the Component Inspector called "lineWrap". It should be a boolean
variable. Set it to _true_ for word wrapping, set it to _false_ for no word
wrapping.
Hope that helps!
