# Caption text wrapping?

 * Some of the text that I use in captions is descriptive,which means that they 
   can be a bit long. Is there a way of getting the text to wrap and still keep 
   its neat linear layout?
 * This link is directly to the page in question.

 * You can make the width of caption same as width of thumbnail.
    In this case .
   ngg-gallery-thumbnail span{ width:200px; }

 * It took a few minutes to figure out just where to put the code but after a bit
   of trial and error it’s resolved.
 * Many thanks for all the help. New to WP, forgive my ignorance. But I will get
   the hang of this.
