Thanks for the reply. When I click on Special Paste.. there are a number of
choices.. the one I tried didn't work out..

I don't know if this is the proper title.. however, what I want to do is to
copy text from a document that is narrow and paste it into a new word
document and have the text move out to the edges of a standard page. In
other words, when I paste the document into my new document, the lines are
only about 4" wide. I'd like them to extend to the standard margins.

How do I do this?

Thanks, Bill

Try Paste Special (instead of Paste), assuming there were no hard returns at
the end of the lines. I'm a new user myself, so someone else will have to
explain how to search for and remove hard returns if that is the problem.
