Where is the wrap-to-window setting in Word now? Suzanne Barnhill has the answer here as of 2016, but I can't find it in the identified place as of 2023.

Fortunately, I have a macro that also makes the necessary change, but it's driving me nuts that I can't find the physical setting. Thanks.

    The option to wrap text to the width of the window is at File > Options > Advanced. The option applies to Draft and Outline views:

    As Suzanne says in that article, in Web Layout View, the text automatically wraps to the Window width.

    In Draft View, the line breaks occur in the same location as in Print Layout View and if the width of the text is not all visible, use the Zoom slider to reduce the Zoom ratio until all of the text can be seen,

    Thanks! (I wish the settings screens had a search feature...)
