'Text' wrapping on 'Predecessor' column

[Garry]

On one task row I have 'Predecessor' field with many predecessors and I want
the row to wrap the 'Predecessor' field. I found earlier questions and
answers where folks that said you just expand the row and the values will
automatically wrap, but when I expand the row it is not wrapping as others
said it did for them. Any possible answers?

Garry,
Text wrapping in Project occurs when a space is present in the string.
Normally, the Predecessor field (which is a string), does not have any
spaces. Changing the row height will have no effect on wrapping for the
Predecessor field. However, there are a few different approaches you can
use.
1. You can change the default string delimiter for Windows from "," to a
space, but that may mess up readability of some other applications
2. You can divide the Predecessors between two identical tasks
3. You can make the view column for the Predecessor field wider

Hope this helps.
