Hello everyone, Is it possible to do word wrapping inside org table as MS Word did? I know that one table mode can do this. (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TableMode) Best wishes, Yu Zhao

(http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TableMode) > I don't believe you can do word wrapping within a single field and still preserve the integrity of the field, since, as I understand it, a field in org-tbl is limited to a single line. But you can "wrap" a long field for the sake of appearance. For instance if you have the following table: ,---- | | | table | this is a long field with a lot of text that stretches on and on | | `---- You can select the text in the second column as a region and type C-u 5 M-RET, which will reformat the text to fill five rows. (Change the prefix argument to get more or fewer rows.) ,---- | | | table | this is a long | | | | field with a | | | | lot of text | | | | that stretches | | | | on and on | | `---- Your other option is to create narrow columns that hide the full text in a column. See this page of the manual: http://orgmode.org/manual/Narrow-columns.html#Narrow-columns Best, Matt
Hi everyone, Regarding wrapping of columns in tables, I noticed that one of the shortcuts listed in the manual[1] no longer works. The manual says you can use either M-RET or C-c C-q to "wrap several fields in a column". The latter keybinding, however, takes you to the headline and activates org-set-tags-command. Thanks, Matt ------ Footnotes: [1] http://orgmode.org/manual/Built_002din-table-editor.html#Built_002din-table-editor
Fixed, thanks.
