how do i turn on word wrap
What do you mean? Edit your question to better explain and/or describe what you consider wrong. Don’t use “Add Answer” which is reserved for solutions. Also don’t post twice.
Writer, like all document processors, takes word one after the other. When a line is considered full, it opens a new line and begins to fill it.
When you type, don’t use Return at the end of line. Your Return will never be removed by Writer. Return tells Writer this is the end of a paragraph; it will then apply the vertical spacings defined in the paragraph style and won’t try to add more words to the line.
