Wordwrap

Wordwrap

When a bullet is too long to fit on a single line, the text automatically continues on to a second line. This is called wordwrap, and it looks like Figure 7.1.

Figure 7.1. Wordwrap forces two eye sweeps .

A full sentence almost always causes wordwrap, which requires an extra eye sweep and more work for the audience. Shift the sentence -style bullet to a headline-style bullet by omitting articles, conjunctions, prepositions, and other unnecessary words. Minimize the Eye Sweeps by restricting the bullet to a single line.
