Don't delete your normal.dot (if it has macros, customizations, etc.),
but rename it to, say, normal.dotold. When Word makes you a new one
and the problem is fixed, you can transfer your customizations. When
Word makes you a new one and the problem _isn't_ fixed, you can
unrename it and still have your customizations.

Problem: When I am typing in MS Word 2007 the last word of my line
will break off and go to the next line. *It is as if I have asked it
to hyphenate words, however I didn't and it does not put a "-" in the
break. It also may break after only the first letter of the word and
then continue the rest of the word on the next line.

Desired Solution: For words that will not fit on a line to
automatically be moved to the next line rather than just break off.

What I have tried: I thought it may have been an issue with "text
wrapping", "word wrap", "hyphenation", margins, or default settings.
I cannot fix it by editing those. I have tried "removing" formatting
as well. Nothing has worked to remove it. I have stumped two tech
support people with this issue as well.

How it Started: It started when I pasted some text from a web site
into Word. I thought perhaps that messed up the formatting, but it
doesn't make sense that it would effect everything... Now when I open
a new document the same thing happens. Somehow it has altered my
settings of Word, not just the one document.

Any help would be much appreciated. I have my MS Office 2007 CDs so
as a last resort I could uninstall & reinstall, but I think there
must be an easier solution. Thanks for your help!

It sounds like normal.dot has been changed. *Delete it and let the program
recreate it. You'll lose any macros or other data you might have stored in
it, but ... .
* *NOTE: Do a disk search for normal.dot; there could be more than one of
them but only one will get used. Delete them all.
