Theoretical modeling of line and continuum formation in Wolf-Rayet (W-R) atmospheres is reviewed. We examine the basic premises on which the models are built, and critically compare theoretical models with observation. Discrepancies between theory and observation are analyzed to determine their implication for our understanding of W-R atmospheres. Line formation, continuum formation, and the ionization structure of W-R envelopes are examined in detail. Abundance determinations are briefly reviewed.
