Editing Scrolling (section)

===Text===
In [[Horizontal and vertical writing in East Asian scripts|languages written horizontally]], such as most Western languages, text documents longer than will fit on the screen are often displayed [[Word wrap|wrapped]] and sized to fit the screen width, and scrolled vertically to bring desired content into view. It is possible to display lines too long to fit the display without wrapping, scrolling horizontally to view each entire line. However, this requires inconvenient constant line-by-line scrolling, while vertical scrolling is only needed after reading a full screenful.

Software such as [[word processor]]s and [[web browser]]s normally uses word-wrapping to display as many words in a single line as will fit the width of the screen or window or, for text organised in columns, each column.
