Thanks, Brian, for trying to answer my question. The actual answer is: In the Report Window, there is a tiny little input box right next to the tic box for "Text file" when you choose which type of document to print/create. I just noticed it and changed it to 90 and now I'm very happy again.
When wrapping text in a family group record, there are times that something like USA or (9) gets wrapped to the next line, it's worse when (printed) page 2 starts with that tiny bit of info. I just don't care for such small items being wrapped and, most of the time, adding the extra 10 spaces cures that issue - for me.
