Notepad, a simple built-in text editor, is one of the simplest yet highly useful applications in Windows. Whether you want to paste a bunch of text in a pinch or type it out without formatting hassle, Notepad is the application you need. By default, Notepad doesn’t wrap text. i.e., word wrap is disabled. That means, anything you paste or type, if longer than the notepad window itself, goes out of the window with horizontal scroll bars at the bottom. This makes it difficult to read and see all the text at once.
Thankfully, you can turn on word wrap in Notepad so that text doesn’t go out of the window and wraps around. This quick and simple tutorial shows you how to do it.
Turn on Notepad Word Wrap Feature
Step 1: Open Notepad. You can search for it in the Start menu or use the Notepad run command.
Step 2: Click on the View > Word wrap option on the top nav bar.
Step 3: With that, the word wrap feature is enabled in Notepad.
From now on, any text you type or paste in Notepad will automatically wrap around and doesn’t go off the window and show horizontal scroll bars at the bottom of the window.
