# Changing line wrapping options

If the text you're editing is too wide to fit into the editor, you can choose to either have the text wrap around at the edge of the window, or simply flow off beyond the window's visible area.

To turn line wrapping on or off:

- Choose Text > Wrap Lines

If you choose to wrap lines, you can choose whether lines break on character boundaries or whole-word boundaries.

To change line break style:

- Choose Text > Wrap > By Word, or
- Text > Wrap > By Character

To set the default line wrapping behavior:

1. Choose Coda > Preferences...
2. Click Editor
3. Check or uncheck Wrap lines
