I hope I spelt the title right (Firefox is saying I spelt "spelt" wrong :D)- I put in [help] to indicate I was asking not giving a tut.

So anyway here is my problem:
I have a Python application that is chopping words in half at the end of each line. This is REALLY annoying. (Especially when I'm speed reading reports). So how can I make it shift the ENTIRE word on to the next line?


Thanks

And yes Google is my friend :D

Do you mind posting the code?

I believe Python has a standard library function named "wrap":
7.7. textwrap ? Text wrapping and filling — Python v2.7.1 documentation

Also, spelt is not standard American English if I recall, so it says it is wrong. it is correct though: "verb, spelled or spelt, spell·ing."

Thanks...
Do you know any friendly user guides for that???
It seems a bit complex.

That is a friendly guide, I would recommend you get used to the Python document format so you may get more out of reading them when you need to know a function. You will notice the function is defined like this:

    wrap(text, width);

So you will need to input your text in the first parameter, and the desired width of the column of text.
