  • Split Lines
    Splits the selected text into lines.
    After clicking this item, a prompt will ask for the line length. The default is 60. You may enter any number between 8 and 400. The lines are then split so that no line is longer than the given length. If possible, lines are split after the characters ",;:.?!:". In effect, long texts should become more readable and manageable.
