Default Text in Table Cells problem

You might check what your cell margins are, but the only reason I can think
of for this is the negative indent, so presumably there are some paragraphs
or cell markers that have escaped/resisted formatting.

Thank you Suzanne. I NEVER would have figured that out! It's better -
the Format, Indent box showed Right at -.5 and I scrolled it to 0.
Resulting with that the text will still will go under the next cell a
few keystrokes but then it does eventually return to the left side -
can that be improved? I then selected (highlighted) the whole table to
apply this to all cells and the Format selections were all blank, so I
added a 0 in the Indent box only and that seemed to work for all the
cells the same way. However, this is working only for the first line of
text in a cell and only for one return. When the second line of text
gets to the right cell line, it doesn't return and instead the column
stretches wider to accommodate the text. Not good. What do you
suggest?

The problem is when I enter text in the individual cells, and I get to
the right margin line of the individual cells, the text keeps going to
the right, apparently Under the right cell line, beneath the next cell
(??? very odd) and are not visible. I want the text to auto return down
in the same cell to the left cell line when it reaches the right cell
line, making the cell/row taller only.
