The Word-Wrap function in some applications does not know where to create a line break when text flows from one line to the next. Make sure you have the AutoSpace button depressed before entering Japanese text into that application. If you have Office 97, you will be able to use a single byte Japanese font and will not be affected by this problem. Just make sure to have the Enable Unicode input option checked and choose the UWJMG3 (SJIS) or UWGOT (SJIS) font. The AutoSpace should not be used when working with email or html files.
