This category deals with three different properties detailed below.
Word wrap is a feature that causes the editor to automatically start a new line of text and move (wrap) the cursor to the beginning of that new line. The drop down box at the top of the dialog provides the following three word wrap choices:
Choosing this will keep the editor from doing any wrapping. The user will have to start new lines manually (with the Enter key.)
This choice has the editor automatically adjust the line lengths to fit its current width. In other words, the wider the user makes the editor the longer the lines will be; and the narrower the editor, the shorter the lines will be. These line breaks are not saved in the file.
Choosing this activates a text box immediately below, labeled Wrap column:. Here the user may specify the maximum number of characters in a line of text.
Each character including spaces fills one column.
This check box tells the editor to rename the last saved version of the current document before carrying out a save command. The editor does this by adding a tilde (~) at the end of the name of the original file. In this way the user has a chance to recover a document if she or he had mistakenly saved something over it.
