Word Wrap in TNM

Oliver, will you ever add the capability of having word wrap in TNM? I write the card comments in WordPad and then copy and paste to TNM. After the card is completed, I have to use the Circuit Editor to manually word wrap everything so it looks presentable.

However, this can be very tiresome. It's one reason I went to writing summaries of interviews instead of actually writing interviews. It would take too long to copy and paste everything into TNM and format it correctly.

Is WordWrap something that isn't possible with DOS? Even the Windows version of TNM Circuit Editor doesn't Word Wrap.

No answers to this? You can't tell me that everyone is satisfied with the status quo of no Word Wrap capability in TNM.

I write all my comments in the circuit editor...so I just manually do it.

I write everything in Wordpad. I then copy and paste to the Circuit Editor. But nothing word wraps. It is just one line and it takes more time than it really should. If Word Wrap was in the program, I wouldn't have to take time to manually word wrap everything. Then, it's still not formatted correctly for this website either.

I thought with the Windows version of the Circuit Editor that Word Wrap would be put in that, but it's the same problem.

The word wrap thing really bugged me for a while, then I just decided to work around it.

I put basic comments after matches and general notes in the overall comments.  If I want to write out more, I save it in NotePad or WordPad.  Not the most optimal solution, but it works for me.

I might just do that Unright, and just write in comments after the matches.

Where it really gets annoying is the interviews. I used to write interviews out in full, instead of summaries. However, imagine how long it would take to properly format an interview once copied and pasted into TNM.

I don't think Oliver is really aware of the problem, if it is indeed a problem. It's definitely not something that takes enjoyment away from TNM. It just feels like work that really should be unnecessary.
