Improve Readability of Notes in ICal

Rob Griffiths, Macworld.com

Here's a very simple Friday tip for those of you using iCal. I like to use iCal's notes field extensively--I'll put in all the information about an upcoming flight or hotel reservation, for instance. However, I've found that iCal doesn't do the best job of wrapping the text I add to the notes field.

So here's the simple solution...just press Option-Return anywhere you want a line break in the notes field--or press Option-Return twice to insert a blank line. I find that some judiciously-applied line breaks make my notes much more readable. If we could use some simple text styles on our notes, that would help even more--sadly, I don't have a hint to solve that one. For now, though, line breaks and blank lines help quite a bit.
