Dreamweaver 8: Word Wrap
There are a lot of new coders features within Dreamweaver 8. These tools make editing code even easier but I find a select few to get in the way. The word wrap feature eliminates the need for horizontal scrolling but can make the code look unorganised and messy, making it harder to find what you are looking for.
Turning it off
To turn of the word wrap in the text code, simply goto view > code view options > word wrap.
Add it to the coder's toolbar
A quicker way to turn on/off word wrapping is to display the button on the coder's toolbar, which is not turned on by default. To do this browse to and edit the following file in Dreamweaver:
"C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\Toolbars\toolbars.xml"
Scroll down to line 629 and remove the comment markup: <!-- ... -->
<!--
<checkbutton id="DW_CodeInspector_WordWrap"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/T_WordWrap_Sm_N.png"
tooltip="Word Wrap"
domRequired="false"
enabled="true"
checked="dw.htmlInspector.getShowWordWrap()"
command="dw.htmlInspector.setShowWordWrap(!...WordWrap())"
update="onEveryIdle" />
-->
Save the file. That's all there is to it! The word wrap button will appear on the coders toolbar once Dreamweaver is restarted.
