So recently at work i’ve been working a little bit with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. After working with Dreamweaver for so many years I’ve always made sure everything word wrapped around and looked clean. Well after asking a few developer friends of mine they couldn’t point in the right direction so I did a little research and came across the proper way to word wrap in Microsoft Visual Studios 2005 / 2008. Below is the procedure if anyone else was wondering how to word wrap in Microsoft Visual Studios.

1. On the Tools menu, select Options.
2. In the Text Editor folder, choose the General options in the All Languages subfolder to set this option globally.— or —Choose the General options in the subfolder for the language in which you are programming.
3. Under Settings, select or clear the Word wrap option.When the Word wrap option is selected, the Show visual glyphs for word wrap option is enabled.
4. Select the Show visual glyphs for Word Wrap option if you prefer to display a return-arrow indicator where a long line wraps onto a second line. Clear this option if you prefer not to display indicator arrows.
