I don't know how to solve the problem you are experiencing with keynotes but I can tell you that I have used them with no such problem. The text wraps as expected.

I think that you have the width set so small that single words can't fit in the list. Try making it larger in the object info palette.

[brudgers]

It's not a width problem.

Look at the first four keynotes.

Please ignore the spelling.

At first glance, I concur it looks like the width of the callout is set too small and word wrap is not enabled.

Does the same thing happen if you change it to a standard font like Ariel?

[brudgers]

The font is cityblueprint which is a truetype font.

Here is some text inserted using the text command - not keynotes before and after conversion to ariel.

[edit]

Having done further testing it appears that the font is the culprit.

It automatically attempts to perform full justification...even in word.

Now I get to go back and retype everything.

****!

The two posted images are of text blocks, not a keynote - is this correct?

Is the first Ariel, second City Blueprint?

[brudgers]

Yes.

The problem was the font.

See edited post.

I was able to reproduce the problem with the font in MS word.

brudgers,

Rather than retyping everything, you might be able to remap the corrupted font to a working font. Could save hours!!

Good luck,

you don't need to re-type everything, just highlight the piece of text and change it to Arial Narrow, but you must first double click to get into the edit mode otherwise it won't work
