In Photoshop CS there doesn't seem to be a word wrap feature. If I continue to type when using the text tool the words go off the canvas, and disappear. Is this a bug?
There is no mention of word wrap in the help index.
I can't believe that PS doesn't have this basic feature.

I don't use the "web design" tools of Photoshop, but what you're referring to is the image allignment properties. You need to insert code like align="left" after the image name. That will situate the image on the left in it's cell and allow the text to flow around it. But I don't know if you can modify the HTML without a real web program or HTML editor.

PS has two text entry modes. If you click on the screen, and start typing, you get the effect you mention. If you drag out a rectangle with a text tool, and then start to type, you get word wrapping.

Looks like I poste my response to the wrong word wrap thread. I should have posted to the thread called wraping type in ImageReady.

Aha, I was wondering about the HTML references.

I've seldom used PS7 for anything other than photo editing and point type - product is then moved to a page layout program.
Recently I attempted to use the "paragraph type" within a bounding box and noted that the text does not wrap or flow as I would have expected. I do get the overflow notice (plus sign within a box) at the corner of my bounding box but the insertion point runs out of the box at the end of the line rather than dropping down do begin a new line within the box.
What am I missing here?

NEVER MIND
Word wrap using paragraph text within a bounding box works fine - if you make sure you have a valid value set for tracking in the "character box", auto or as appropriate for the font used and effect desired.
so many settings, so little time!

A nice feature exists in the Paragraph Palette of CS too in which you can toggle hyphenated wrapping.
I personally now find the text tools of PS, particularly text to path, to be highly superior over any other programs I've used to date. A long way to securing this rests with the interface, where text editing and manipulation for example, are facilitated almost perfectly.
