When you add a text box to VSD grab the little triangle on the right hand side of the box and drag it to the anticipated width that you'll what the text to be. Then after typing all your text you can do the same thing to make any final adjustments. VSD will automatically force words down to the next line not allowing them to be cut off.

Thanks for the tip Rolly, I will give it a try and see if it helps. Happy New Year!

PB, well you must be on to something with not having FGDC because that is what is causing the issue in FF. For some reason FF doesn't render it correctly and wraps it. I changed font to regular FG and it now displays correctly. Yippee!

Glad to here it was an easy fix.
Just be aware (according to the linked site above, as of 12-17-2011), under 67% of users have any form of Franklin, so they still won't see what you see. They may have some wrapping or text over-lapping other text depending on what font their system substitutes it with.
