How to set character sheet width

Is there any way to set a character sheet to a specific width without making the whole thing a table?
I want something like the regular forum posts which have set width so the text automatically wraps and the tables are no wider than that set width.

A table is the only way or manually enforcing people to enter the return key after so many characters.

Damitol.
How do I do this with the new table formatting then? I can't seem to find the table formatting guidelines anymore.

The GM has two options that can be set. "variable width, word wrap on" generally keeps things in the window. I think, if you check, you'll see that in general for general forum posts there isn't a fixed width; instead, they fill up to the width of the window. This character sheet option does the same thing.

I'll let my GM know then.

By ZOD that worked!

Hey, while we're talking about the GM side of Character sheets, what does "Insert Private Note" do?  Is that a note that only the GM can see?

Yep, that's exactly what it does - GM only private note.

Could a player accidentally delete that? By that I mean if the player deleted a chunk of text, maybe several pararagrapghs, and in the middle was a GM Private Note, would it be deleted in error?

No, only a GM can edit it or delete it.
