My word wrap doesn't wrap!
When I'm typing along and come to the end of the line, Word breaks up
whatever word doesn't fit and sticks the rest on the next line. The documentation states that it is supposed to stick the entire word on the next line, not leave one or two letters on the previous line. I'm sure it's something simple, but I've looked everywhere and can't find a check box or a setting to fix this. H ALP |

Wrapless,
I think your document has become corrupt. If this applies to all your documents even new ones than your normal.dot is probably gone corrupt. The only other reason I can think off is a problem with the font you are using. First read this: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm If it does not help, post again.

Hey Luc.
This is happening to me as well. New document from Normal. Auto word wrapping is totally gone. I've tried the steps on the link you provided, but nothing seemed to help. This is normal body text...nothing special about it. Thanks - cadbetty "Luc" wrote: Wrapless, I think your document has become corrupt.

My word wrap doesn't wrap!
This sounds like what would happen with a non-breaking space between each
word. Have you looked at your document with non-printing characters displayed? A regular space will be a dot while a non-breaking space will look like a degree symbol. º Don't know how you would be doing this, though. Also, try turning on table gridlines. I'm pretty sure Suzanne Barnhill has answered similar problems in the past, but that may have been pages that wouldn't break, rather than lines. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

My word wrap doesn't wrap!
The spaces in my document aren't marked by anything. I have paragraph marks,
indent marks, and a square at the beginning of each new paragraph. I've deleted all unused styles in my document. I'll look around for line break options. I still need some help with this. It's beyond frustrating. -cadbetty "Charles Kenyon" wrote: This sounds like what would happen with a non-breaking space between each word.

My word wrap doesn't wrap!
If they are not marked by anything you aren't displaying them! Ordinary
spaces will show up as a tiny dot with non-printing characters displayed. If you do have non-printing charters displayed and you are not seeing dots, you are getting something other than a normal space when you press the spacebar. That would explain your problem and help with fixing it but I would be surprised if it were the case. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

cadbetty could be talking about my computer, because the problem is identical
to mine. I've tried displaying the non printing characters, but only see the backwards P (hard return?) symbol. I haven't done anything unusual to cause this, and it's happening on all new documents w/ all fonts. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: If they are not marked by anything you aren't displaying them!

The nonbreaking spaces are a red herring, I think. The document is almost
certainly corrupt. -- Suzanne S.
