there are some key property in Text Widgt:
softWrap // if overflow then can wrap new line
overflow // if overflow the overed text style
maxLines // max lines
and if the parent container of Text Widgt has a width less or eq than device width then text overflowed will wrap to multiple lines, or Text will throw overflow error if text is too long
give a width to parent container
for example:
// overflow error
Container(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Text("hellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohello"),
Text("dd")
],
),
)
give parent container fix width
// overflow will change to multiple lines, notice padding and margin's effect
Container(
width: 100,
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Text("hellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohello"),
Text("dd")
],
),
)
or let Text fill parant container using Expended or Flexible
Expanded(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Text("hellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohello"),
Text("dd")
],
),
)
// or
Flexible(
child: Column(
children: <Widget>[
Text("hellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohellohe" +
"llohellohellohellohellohellohello"),
Text("dd")
],
),
)

Hi! Thank you for your contribution. This seems like useful advise. Would you edit your answer to tidy up the indentation? As is, it's a bit difficult to read.
