    Line breaks in Source Code View

    WalkingStick Community Member
      I used to do all my code editing in Cold Fusion Studio 5. In Studio, when code got too long for the screen it just continued off to the right. To see it you would need to scroll to the right. Now in Dreamweaver CS4 (and previous versions too) the code will automatically wrap for you. I prefer the way Studio did it, because it enabled me to better understand the structure of the page. Does anyone know a way to turn the line breaking off? I found a place where you could specify how many columns before it breaks, but that isn't even active.

      Thanks in advance for your help.

          Hi.

          View - Code view Options - Word wrap.

          Be sure to be in code view if not the options will be greyed.

            Thanks, that was so simple. I guess I was looking for a global way to do it not per file (that'd still be nice) but this does the trick.

            Thanks again.

              You'll need to make the change for all currently open files, but that
              should now be the default setting for all new file editing sessions.
