    "boarding area where clients are received (indicate the sp

    ecific name of Ramp, Marina or Beach) in case you only do bo

    at launching maneuvers, indicate the specific place"

    Hi Gilberto,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand that the paragraph are breaking in between words. Could you share the URL of the affected form with us so we can check it out and see what's going on further? Let me show you how to do that:

    1. In Form Builder, click the Publish button.
    2. Under the Quick Share tab, click the Copy Link button to copy your Form URL.

    We also have a guide on Where to Find My Form URL that you can check out.

    After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help.

    Hi Gilberto,

    Thanks for getting back to us. When I cloned and tested your form, the same thing happened to me. After investigating it a bit, I found a solution. We just need to inject a custom CSS into the widget. Let me show you how:

    1. Select the Configurable List widget and click the Wand icon.
    2. Go to the Custom CSS tab and add the following CSS code below into the widget. 
    /* Thread: 9978791 | Split words without making the word not break in the middle. */
    .configurable-list-field-wrapper.col6.text-field-selector > span {
      word-break: break-word;
    }

    /* END */
