Default Aligning Lines

I opened a txt file and for some reason many lines aren't reaching the right
side. Many lines go about half way then a new line begins, which may cover
the entire line, and the next line may go half way and then start a new line.
Can I fix this somehow where each line will cover as much of the line as it
should?

Use Search and replace. Search for manual linebreaks (^l) and replace
them with a space or nothing, depending on how your document is layed
out.

Click the pilcow button on the toolbar ¶ or CTRL+* to toggle the display.
The line breaks may be paragraph marks or line breaks - see the link I
posted earlier.
