Is there a way to control the...")* I am using the TinyMCE as the editor for data such as Category description. This gives the format option 'preformatted' for my descriptions, which displays the text of the description in a box on the product listing page when the category is selected. But the text within the box does not wrap at the end of a word, words are split. I have attached a screen shot. You can see that the word 'twentieth' has been split across two lines. Do I have any control over this?
