I have a report that I need to add word wrap to in 8.5,
I am very new to crystal.It is a 2 columned report.
 
If you format your field to "can grow" (format->field->common->can grow), you can size the field to the desired width and the result will wrap if necessary.

Thanks lbass, I checked and they are all selected can grow. Is there something else I need to do to make it wrap?? The margin is set midpoint of the page for the subreports that are in the report that need to wrap ??
 
This is your first mention of a subreport. I don't think you can get a subreport itself to wrap. You would have to make the fields within the subreport wrap. Within the subreport, the fields would have to be sized to fit inside the visible area when in design mode and then the subreport itself would need to be sized to fit within the column area of the main report.

Thanks for the info lbass, I am just learning as you can tell. I appreciate your help
