Try the Physical wrap, rather than virtual. With virtual, long lines are sent as one line. A lot depends on the format you are copying from.

As far as the buttons not showing up, there are a few attributes to check in the visualformatconfig.xml file. Check the tool bars "wrap" attribute, it should be set to true. This should force the icons to wrap to the next row. There is also a new row attribute that if set to false, it has to remain on the same row as the previous menu.

Take a look at the developers manual for ewebeditpro. It can be found at:
http://www.ektron.com/ewebeditpro.cfm?doc_id=654
At the bottom of the page is Support Resources and Technical Information. Try the documentation link.

Or go directly to the version 2.6 developers guide at:

Hope this helps

Thanks For getting back to me, I dont have any problem in Viewing the VisualFormat Editor Menu bar.
My problem is Text is not wrapping up

I checked the "ektron" site and founf the following url
http://www.ektron.com/ewebeditpro2/testdrive/multiedit.htm

and I did enter a long line and the text didnt break in the example shown by the "ektron".
wrap="physical" is also not working..
Do you ahve a sample code for Visual Temaplte tool.
I also emailed the "ektron" about this problem.

Please let me know if you kanow anything else

Attached is the document showing the problem

Thanks again

1. What version of the VFE are you using?
2. Is is the default IWOV implementation?
3. I assume the wrapping you are refering to is in the template page and not the output page. If it is the output page (ie html, asp, jsp) than this is a tpl issue. Please clarify
4. You attachment wasn't there

Here is the item code for my text box.
<item name="RichText">
<label>Formatted Text Area</label>
<description>Enter text and apply formatting options.</description>
<textarea cols="75" rows="20" external-editor="visualformat" external-editor-config="visualformatconfig_pgs.xml"></textarea>
</item>

AND

<item name="PlainText">
<label>Plain Text</label>
<description>Enter unformatted text.</description>
<textarea cols="75" rows="20" wrap="physical" line-break="t"></textarea>
</item>

With either of these, if I paste in a long line of text with no breakes, the editor wraps them correctly. Try pasting in the contents from the attached file.

Good luck.

Mathew,
Thanks for getting back to me, The Wrapping issue is fo Tpl page and I am generating the ASP file and The ASP file content dosent break into next line for 75 rows as that is what the size of the V Format Builder tool uses. I can reduce the size but not to less than 45 as the menu bar will shrunk too much

Is there any way I can do something on the TPL to break the lines.

note- I am cleaning the <p> tags in the Visual Template Builder

Ah, well, that is why. My understanding is there is no connection between the VTB and the presentation. The wrapping is for the template only. If you want to have the text wrap in the asp page, put the interwoven value inside a table that will force the text to wrap.

YOUR IWOV VALUE is in a table cell that is YOUR SIZE wide, This will force the content to wrap even if the text is on one line.
