Windows XP
Word 2000

For years whenever I opened a new document and looked at the horizontal
ruler, I saw a shaded area which started between the numbers 6 and 7 and
extended to the right.

But suddenly the shaded area went away and I don't get the automatic
wrapping which I used to. The text just keeps going to the right edge of the
whole window and then starts over from the left.

Please help.
