Essential Graphics - Where did Word Wrap go?

In the legacy title tool, I can just right click on the text bounding box and select "Word Wrap", and my text will start a new line if it reaches the boundary of my frame.

But I can't find any such feature in Essential Graphics. If I type in the bounding box and the text reaches the edge of the frame, it'll just continue on the same line off the frame. I have to manually add line breaks if I want them, which does not make this text tool well suited for revisions.

Is this option hidden somewhere that I can't find? I've already searched this forum and the manual with no luck.

      FYI I was able to find out how to use word wrap in the new Essential Graphics panel in Premiere. When you select the text tool, instead of just clicking once in the Program Monitor, click + drag to make the size of the text box you want. Then, when you type or copy and paste text, the words will automatically wrapped based on the boundaries you set. You can can then adjust the text box size as needed.

          HOW TO WORDWRAP IN PREMIERE PRO 2018

          GOTO File / New / Legacy Title

          When Legacy opens up you can use the AreaTypeTool on the left. You simply left click hold and drag a box over the video. Paste within your text and it will word wrap. If it is too large, simply adjust the font size down and the rest of the text will appear.

            The manual is imo hopeless.

            The legacy titler has word wrap the new titler has not.

            Might want to file a Feature Request/Bug Report Form

            Thank you. This puzzles me though, since word wrap seems to be a pretty essential tool. There is an equivalent in both Illustrator and Premiere. Does anyone know why it was omitted in this last update?

            Omitted? it was never in the new titler.

            It is still in the old one, to use it you need to make a kbsc for it first.
