Wordwrap in PDF reports

Hi Team,
I have just begun designing BIRT reports using the RCP designer tool. I have an issue with long words without whitespaces. This data gets cut off in the column and only part of the text is shown in the PDF.

@ to separate words which are more than 10 letters long but this leads to additional   being added at the start of the text and formatting issues which is not desirable.

Im not sure if this can be done through Javascript and how to go about it. Could you please suggest how to resolve this issue?

What is your BIRT version? Have you checked the "whitespace" property of the element with the long text. Is it set to "no wrapping"?

I am using 2.6.1 RCP designer. The whitespace property for the data item is set to normal. However the actual data has no whitespaces.

If there are no break characters and it's not wrapping, you might have to use substrings to break it up to force it to wrap.
