I'm working on a word document, using a script font--"IRIS", and the words at
the end of a line are being indiscriminately divided at the end, i.e., there
may just be the first 1 or 2 letters of a word at the end of a line, and the
rest of the word is continued on the next line. Even the word "as" was
divided! The line setting is for left alignment, not justified margins, but
when I use any of the script fonts, this occurs.

Word may be treating the font as a "decorative" (i.e., symbol) font, like
Wingdings or Symbol. If that's the case, there's no solution except to
modify the font to remove the "decorative" flag (which requires a font
editor). If this happens in only one document, it's a sign of document
corruption; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm
