Word wrap in Internet Explorer 6

Is there a way to have word wrap in Internet Explorer? Currently I go to some sites that are "wide". By that I mean there is a right/left scroll bar at the bottom and I have to scroll to the right to read to the end of the line. This also seems to affect the printing since the right side gets cut off.

I am at 1024x768 now. If I go up to 1280x960 I can see the whole page but the print is still cut off. It also is tough to read at this setting. Also changing the text size does not fix the problem.

I originally thought this was a printer problem so I expanded the printable area on my printer to the maximum width and the print problem still exists.

Thanks
 
Doing some looking on this topic I'm told that the latest Service Pack for IE 6 supposedly compensates for this...
if you haven't applied it.
It may just turn out, too, that some sites are clumsily put together and suffer plain ole bad programming.
If it's really important to you look into "capturing" the
page image with alt/print screen or ctrl/print screen and then pasting that into a Word document where it may be properly sized for printing. Haven't used those commands for awhile...but seems like one of them captures the whole screen and the other does just the active window. Experimentation with it will sort that out for you.
