Text Wrap / all on one page

Post by Z88new86 »

Hi, new Z88 owner here, enjoying exploring this machine, had a Serial Link and a 512k flash from Vic at Rakewell and managed to get everything working like a dream

I have a question (that may be easily answerable but im struggling!) I have loaded a text document from my laptop to the Z88 and it's loaded up great but I'm trying to find a way to format the document as so it Wraps onto one screen, I.e all text contained within columns A to F, I've moved the margins etc but for some reason the text will not wrap around to the next line, any advice would be greatly appreciated

The Z88 annoyingly handles wrapping to its screen with hard carriage returns. The only way to get the text to flow, IE, wrap to a different width, is to remove those hard carriage returns.
