text wrapping

Question

My text does not wrap in a div.  Text keeps on writing across the page past the right margin of the div.  There is nothing else but text in the div.  I have watched many tutorials, searched the web and forums for a solution, which of course must be very easy.  I have tried seting all of the margins, div boundaries, etc.  I am on XP using Expression Web SP1 version 3.0.3813.0.  Thanks.

This is the forum for Expression Blend not Expression Web but I can try to answer as I'm a web designer.
 You're Div needs to have properties associated with it so the text wraps.  That is usually where CSS comes in.

In the CSS, give the Div id a certain width and then the text will not go past that.

CSS Example:

#divname{
width: 200px;
}


HTML example:

<div id="divname">
text that wraps goes here.

</div>


You might want to brush up on CSS tutorials on the internet.

If this helps, please mark as answer.
