Title: WORD WRAP
Post by Karen Mason on 07/06/05 at 12:02:02

Oooooh! People are venting to me because I am insisting on recording conversations into contact manager. Can't just type, you have to watch the line so you know when to go to the next one.

Also need this in ALL the areas where lines don't automatically wrap. I know I have suggested before, but it is really becoming a BIG PAIN especially as we are using EVO more & more.

This would also be very helpful in all of the "notes" regions.

The problem is that it would require restructuring a LOT of data files to accomodate that. The reason it does not wrap is that "notes" in DBA are stored as discreet data fields in the data files, not as "blob" or similar notes-type fields from other products. Certainly can be done, but would be a BIG undertaking and requires a data file rebuild for everyone that would want to go to that upgrade/enhancement.

I made a comment about this on another forum with regards to the fact at at least on sales order notes, the font on the line you are typing on is smaller, so it's hard to gauge when you run out of space. Maybe a counter on the bottom of the note field that let you know how many spaces were left would be handy (i.e.- 30/80).
