Thanks mate! I was searching for how to enable word wrap in notes in power point and stumbled across your excellent post.

I got lost at step 4. ‘navigate to line spacing’, but with a bit of experimentation figured it out. For anyone who runs into the same issue, this is what I did:

* Opened up power point presentation I was working on
* Right clicked on notes box under the slide
* Clicked on ‘paragraph’
* Clicked on ‘Asian Typography’ tab
* Unchecked the second check-box (Allow Latin text to wrap in the middle of a word) as per your original instructions.

Instant text wrapping! Might actually meet my client’s deadline now.

Thanks again mate!

Thanks Mr Aggarwal and Clay Olmstead (for the Outlook solution). My Outlook 2007 just started doing this after 2 years normal use and of course MS “Help” was irrelevant. How you actually worked this out I don’t know but it sure is appreciated!

Thanks a ton. Works on office 2010 as mentioned in an earlier post (ironically just today) by Craig.

Just did it, it worked for 2010… I’m laughing my fool head off here – I’m in ASIA yet!!

How can Microsoft DO this??

( Added bonus, I now know about slide masters, which I should’ve found out about before being let loose on the s/w package anyway…)

Wow! I am so happy this worked…I thought I was going to have to recreate several HUGE presentations. Changing in the Master slide didn’t work for me…I had to select all the text in each box and then go into the paragraph menu to uncheck the “Allow Latin text to wrap in the middle of a word” box.

I would never have figured this out. So glad you posted these instructions. Thanks!

When all the logic answers are proven wrong, one has to try the not so logical ones… thanks a lot for posting this, I’m sure even having like 12 years using MS Office, I wasn’t going to be able to solve this myself.

Dear Mr. Aggarwal.

Thank you very much for saving me from my endless frustration. Thought there would be no light to this until I stumble onto your post. Extremely helpful and appreciate the advice given.

Wish you’ll excel in everything you do!
