Normal view is the view you get if you check Normal on the View menu or
click Normal View on the horizontal scroll bar. If you have "Wrap to window"
enabled in this view, the text will take up the whole screen. Clearly this
is not the issue.

In the Format | Paragraph dialog, see what the Indentation: Right setting
is. If it is anything other than 0", then you have an indent. If the number
is negative, then your paragraph will extend outside the margin.

PS to Suzanne: Also, I don't know what you mean by "a negative right
indent".
I haven't done any indenting. All my sentences begin at the margin.

Does the paragraph have a negative right indent? Are you in Normal view
with
"Wrap to window" enabled (Tools | Options | View)?

Why is my text wrapping outside my margin? (I am using Microsoft
Office
