Default broken words at the end of a line that carry remainder to next lin

OCR'd text often acquires hyphens; if there are no hyphens and the text just
breaks randomly, most likely the document is corrupted. See

Is there a return or line break inserted? If the document you copied from

was
from the Internet or a PDF there are often line breaks or even tabs

inserted.
Switch on the formatting marks to check what is making the word split.

I copy and pasted an essay from another document into a blank word

document
and the last word at the end of the line is broken and the remainder

carries
over to the next line like this "commun
ity" I do not want a hyphen, I want to carry the whole word over to the

next
line if it is too large to fit on the line before. This usually happend
automatically but since i copied and pasted the text it is not working.
