JTextArea setWrapStyleWord

[Kevin Munro]

Hello,

If I set up a new JTextArea and set the setWrapStyleWord() method to true
then any text I enter into the JTextArea wraps fine.

But, if I pass in some text programmatically then it doesn't wrap as if I'd
just entered it.

Any advice?

Cheers, Kevin.

Try calling setLineWrap(true) on your JTextArea in addition to
setWrapStyleWord(). I've found in the past that both are often needed
to make it work properly.
