= SUMMARY =

If the Auto-Wrap option in the Communications module is selected when a document is imported into Microsoft Works versions 1.10 and 2.00 with the Capture Text command, carriage returns will be added to the end of each line. This causes the document to incorrectly auto wrap when it is opened in the Word Processor.

To turn off the Auto-Wrap option before capturing a file, do the following:


 * 1) From the Communications menu, choose Settings.
 * 2) Select either the VT-52 or VT-100 terminal emulator type.
 * 3) Deselect the Auto-Wrap option.

This process will cause the information to display incorrectly in the Communications module, but will allow it to wrap correctly when brought into the Word Processor.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Version 1.00 does not support VT-52 or VT-100 emulation; it also does not have an Auto-Wrap option. Importing files with Capture Text in version 1.00 will not add returns. This allows captured documents to wrap properly in the Word Processor.
