When writing a post in wordpress 2.0, I sometimes get long lines without word wrapping. The lines overflows and creates a long horizontal scrollbar.
It appears to me that wordpress thinks the whole line is one word, with no spaces. If I double click on a word, it's supposed to select only that word. However, if I click on a word in the long line, many words get selected.
How can I force my posts to wrap nicely?

is there any way you could show us an example? maybe give us a link to the post where this is happening?

Not really, my website is live and I can't have bad-looking posts.

well, my trying to use my imagination to see what you're talking about isn't really going to work well. if we can't see exactly what you're talking about, we can't really get to the bottom of it...

Spaces are due to the
text-align: justify; in your stylesheet. Remove it.
For the | - edit your post.

rudolf45 thanks for all the help you provided.
I live in India so it was around 0130am when i amde the post replied to yours. at some point i ran out of gas :-) and slept in front of the chair.
i just now reached back after my office work.
thanks for your help.
just one question: is the "justify" in text-align is default in style sheet? why so?
Posted 2 years ago #
It is not "default". It is up to the theme designer/author how they want to display the text. Remember: every theme has a different stylesheet and all the display/look issues are defined in the style.css.
