It seems that if you copy and paste from another programme with the [bracket stuff][/bracket stuff] in place then the programme does not allow word wrap. The solution? It's OK to use another program (with a more reliable spell checker) to type your post, just don't add any clever url links or change colours until after you paste it into the "make a post window". That is my interpretation, anyway, maybe others know better?
