InfoPath word-wrap fixer Extension

Several SharePoint Sites using InfoPath forms do not support word-wrap for (HTML) text area elements. There are workarounds which require modifying style sheets (CSS) for each SharePoint Site. These workarounds need to be applied on a site-by-site basis, and they are not supported by some newer SharePoint Sites.

This extension bypasses the problem and directly applies the fix to the text areas in all SharePoint Sites that are sub-domains of sharepoint.com.

Available also for Firefox at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/infopath-word-wrap-fixer/.

If you need to fix area text elements in any websites, see https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cmiebacajlhfnfdofcflofoaaikdbpbc.
