Hi Guys,

Can you help me to show the text below..

The first image is the whole content. I need it to make a short text box width for this like the 2nd box.

But when I try to to adjust the width, the text should be flow on the 2nd line but it doesn't.

Note:

Hypernate - off

No Break - off

No Wrap

Any help?

Thanks!

Sarah

Add discretionary line breaks after each slash (Type > Insert Break Character > Discretionary Line Break).

Peter's answer is correct.

The reason the numbers disappear is that they are numbers and don't hyphenate on their own. Notice the overset text mark in the bottom right. They will come back when you do something to cause them to fit, such as make the frame wider or the text smaller or Shift + Return to break the line.

Thank you Peter and Jane.

So it was solved by inserting Discretionary Line Break.

Another problem is.. This text is from feed xml. How can I automate that to have Discretionary Line Break? Can grep do that?

No need for Grep. You can replace the slash with /^k
