Thanks, Tony. Actually, I do have a little experience with that. From what I can tell from the help, you can setting wrapping, but it appears to be at characters. And on a Mac, which I have, the default and only font is courier.

I've never had occasion to reset line width in the past. [I've been picking up files in TextEdit and printing from there.] If I can do that and print without having to save I imagine that would work. If I have to save to get the new setting to take effect in the print, it might be more trouble than it's worth. [I'd have to go back and reset line width to my normal setting, which is to wrap by word at the screen.
