text will not fit layer as paragraph. layer expands to infinity horizontaly on first line
 
How are you restricting/defining the width of the layer? Expanding to fill the width is the default for paragraphs (and pretty much everything else).

thats the problem, i don't know how to define/restrict the width of layer
 
Ok. What are your layers? table cells? divs?

i belive they'r table cells. i'm selecting INSERT> LAYOUT OBJECT> LAYER to achieve a group of nested layers
 
Below are 2 examples of how the code looks like when limiting the size of Layer and Div.


#Layer1 {
position:absolute;
width:200px;
height:115px;
z-index:1;
left: 47px;
top: 190px;
}
-->
</style>


inline style code, limited div to 300 pixels:
<div id="div1" style="width:300px">Content for id "div1" Goes Here</div>
