Default How to stop Word from breaking words across lines?

I'm using "Betsy" (a cursive font) in a custom-sized Word 2003 document.
Unlike typical documents where lines break between words, the lines in this
document are breaking wherever the character length reaches the right margin
regardless of whether there's a space or not. Its not even adding hyphenation
marks between these word breaks. Consequently, words may have only 1 or 2
characters at the end of a line and the remainder on the next line, or most
of a word at the end of a line and the last 1-2 characters on the next line.

I want to keep all characters in a word together. Is there an option similar
to Widows and Orphans (for controlling paragraph breaks) that determines how
Word breaks words across lines?

Thanks in advance for your help!
