    I'm a new user of Notepad++ v4.9.2 and am enjoying exploring its features however I cannot get word wrap to function. Whether the wrap option is on or off, the function doesn't work and text won't wrap. Could someone please explain to me how to make this function work or what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

      Thank you for taking the time to respond. I believe you are correct when you say that I may have misunderstood what the function does. I was looking for similar behaviour to EditPad where you can set the text to wrap as you type at any character number of your choice 64, 72, 96 etc. You've clarified the issue for me, thanks.

      It has always worked for me, but perhaps you've misunderstood what it does?  When it's enabled, long lines wrap at the right hand edge of the window, but this wrapping isn't permanent, and doesn't change anything in the file.  It's only for display.  Does that help?

      There's an option in the TextFX menu (under the TextFX Edit submenu) to physically insert newlines to wrap text.
