1. Wrapping text will add a space character after the #th character of each new line, if the #th character or the #+1th character isn't a space character. # is the line number length you want.
Example with # = 10
Before:
9charword_10charword_11charsword_etc...
After:
9charword_
10charword_
11charswor_
d_etc..._
_ represents a space character
Notice that a space character will also be added to the last line, if it wouldn't have been added already.
2. Unwrap Text
This option will copy text to be one-liners again, but this _won't_ remove the previously added space characters. Best thing to do when the outcome is not what had in mind, is press CTRL+Z (Undo).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
How do I change the line length of text to 65 digits?
I see in TextFX Edit >> ReWrap text to (Clipboard or 72) width.
Is this the easiest way to change line length?
And then how do I change it from 72 to 65?
Thanks.
(Type and) copy the number 65 to the clipboard (CTRL+C).
Then (undo the typing and) select the Rewrap option.
By the way, you also have to select the text lines you want to wrap before choosing the menu option.
Searching for "+line +length" resulted in finding this previous thread:

Thanks - works well.
1. Type a number on screen.
2. Copy the number.
3. Select text to ReWrap.
4. ReWrap will use the number in the clipboard as the line length.
This method is by far easier than anything I have found so far since it keeps words together.
