I have a text box, and when I enter text it flows as one long line. How can I make it wrap? There is a video on YouTube, but it is not clear what the text to enter is.

can you please tell me where is word wrap present ? – USer345738380 Aug 31 '16 at 12:21
This is the video referred to; the style text is:
html=1;whiteSpace=wrap
The latest version in production doesn't require this, you select Text → Word Wrap on the menu instead.

Thanks. I'm fine with the klunky solution for now. Just needed to know those magic words! – Daniel Williams Jan 17 '13 at 22:05

Choose: Format->Style then add html=1;whiteSpace=wrap (Case sensitive!) – Daniel Williams Feb 5 '13 at 2:10

In the latest version online it's just select the node, on the menu do Text->Word Wrap, that's it. – David Feb 5 '13 at 11:54

@David, don't you think it's better if word wrap is enabled by default? – Ranhiru Jude Cooray Jul 5 '13 at 3:51

FYI - The newer properties access to this is only for nodes, this is not true of free floating text areas. However the 'Style' method with
html=1;whiteSpace=wrapdoes work for text areas. – oucil Nov 1 '15 at 17:55
Since the above answer did not work for me, I am answering here.
- After clicking on a text box, select the right hand menu tab called STYLE.
- Under this menu tab, expand the Property | Value submenu (see screenshot).
- Click on the Text Overflow option that is currently selected (likely hidden or visible).
- Select the fill or width option and voila - it should wrap properly!
