E-book Reader: Word Wrap Issue

[skaboy]

Dear all,

I've placed a few short stories from an ezine website on my GP2X as .txt files.

The text wraps in accordance with the width of the GP screen but does so mid-word: so a word is split accross two lines. Although the stories are readable, it's a minor annoyance and I wondered if there was a solution?

MS Notepad wraps at 76 characters (I think) and presumably the GP wraps at a different number of characters: is there any way to change either so that the two are compatible.

In your debt, as always for any help proffered.

Now THAT was helluva answer. Damn...don't write anything. I don't use my gp2x for reading, but after some testing I think there's nothing you can do about it.

ok my bad...not like this kind of answer didn't have any reason

I use ultraedit on windows to wrap the text at 52 characters.

From the menu bar:

Format > Paragraph formatting > Paragraph setup/formatting

set:

specify margin: 0
right margin: 52
alignment: left

then you can open up any text file, hit ctrl-a, ctrl-t and it'll be formatted for the gp2x reader.

You can download a trial version but it will give you a nag screen if you don't pay for it after x days. Then again, you can probably live with that if you are just using it to wrap text.
