Wrap Text in Window (AREV Specific)

It's been so long that I've done this that I can't remember how.
What I want to do (in Arev 2.12) is to create a window where one field is a text window. I don't want any text marks in the text, but I want the text to wrap. It doesn't have to wrap when the user is on the prompt, but it should display wrapped when the user is not on the prompt.
I remember that this was possible (or was it only possible in RevG?). Anyone know how to do this?

Victor,
I just did a quick test, and here is what seemed to work for me.
I set the prompt justification to "TN" and the output format to T#20.
When I moved to the next prompt, it automatically reformatted the text to wrap and fit in the field. I then looked at the record in the table and no text marks were saved in the data.
Obviously, you would change the T#20 to whatever display length you wanted.

Thanks. That's exactly what I wanted (I should have just pressed F2 on the justification field).

I've decided this isn't what I needed afterall. What I need is something that will automatically wrap for text that's too long and retain formatting when present, kind of like the way HTML paragraph or break tags work. For now, I'm doing the breaking programmatically and retaining breaks using @TMs.
