Text Wrap??
I don't know if this is the proper title.. however, what I want to do is to
copy text from a document that is narrow and paste it into a new word document and have the text move out to the edges of a standard page. In other words, when I paste the document into my new document, the lines are only about 4" wide. I'd like them to extend to the standard margins. How do I do this? Thanks, Bill |

Thanks, Bill Try Paste Special (instead of Paste), assuming there were no hard returns at the end of the lines. I'm a new user myself, so someone else will have to explain how to search for and remove hard returns if that is the problem. MaryL |

choices.. the one I tried didn't work out.. "MaryL" wrote: "WeeWilly" wrote in message ...
