Word Wrap in Flex Terminal Emulator Sessions

Flex Terminal Emulator includes a Word Wrap feature that automatically moves text to the next line when it reaches the right edge of the screen.

Availability

Word Wrap support was introduced in version 7.0.10008.1973 and can be quickly enabled or disabled using the Quick Access Toolbar. If running a prior version, you must upgrade to 7.0.10008.1973 or newer to take advantage of this feature.

Using Word Wrap

To toggle Word Wrap:

  1. Locate the Word Wrap icon on the Quick Access Toolbar.
  2. Click the icon to enable or disable the feature.
  • When enabled, the icon appears pressed/highlighted, and a “WW” indicator is displayed in the Operator Information Area (OIA).
  • When disabled, text will no longer wrap and will extend beyond the visible screen width.

Adding the Word Wrap Icon

If the Word Wrap icon is not visible:

  1. Click Customize Quick Access Toolbar.
  2. Locate and add the Word Wrap command.
  3. Click OK to save your changes.
Notes
  • Word Wrap is supported only for TN3270 (mainframe) sessions.
  • This feature improves readability by preventing text from being cut off at the screen boundary, or splitting words between rows.
  • The Word Wrap toggle command can also be mapped to a keyboard shortcut and/or a button on a custom extension, ribbon, etc.
