Why is my text wrapping outside my margin? (Using Word 2003)
Does the paragraph have a negative right indent? Are you in Normal view with
"Wrap to window" enabled (Tools | Options | View)? -- Suzanne S.

Why is my text wrapping outside my margin? (Using Word 2003)
Hello Suzanne - I did what you said: I went to "Tools|Options|View" and
checked the "Wrap to window" box. But my text is still wrapping outside my margin. What does "Normal view" mean? The document is showing "100%" view. Is that normal view?

PS to Suzanne: Also, I don't know what you mean by "a negative right indent".
I haven't done any indenting. All my sentences begin at the margin. Lilly Cagney "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Does the paragraph have a negative right indent?

Normal view is the view you get if you check Normal on the View menu or
click Normal View on the horizontal scroll bar. If you have "Wrap to window" enabled in this view, the text will take up the whole screen. Clearly this is not the issue. In the Format | Paragraph dialog, see what the Indentation: Right setting is. If it is anything other than 0", then you have an indent. If the number is negative, then your paragraph will extend outside the margin. -- Suzanne S.

Why is my text wrapping outside my margin? (Using Word 2003)
Thank you Suzanne.
I looked at the Paragraph dialog and saw the indentation settings. I think the problem may be with automatic formatting which I wasn't aware of. My document seemed inconsistent. Some of the lines were justified to the left and some weren't. (This is a puppet show with dialogue.) I prefer them all justified to the left border (margin) in this particular document. (except for the title, of course). So, after reading your explanation, I went to the indentation dialogue and took out the indentations, including the "first line" numbers. In other words, I set everything to 0". That justified the lines to the left. But I really don't understand what they mean by "first line" indentation. Do you think I should turn off the automatice formatting? How do I do that? Also I don't completely understand what the difference is between "wrapping to window " and not "wrapping to window", especially as it effects the different views. Thank you for your help. I can see that this is a very complex program to learn. It's nice of you to help me. Lilly Cagney "Suzanne S.

Why is my text wrapping outside my margin? (Using Word 2003)
With regard to automatic formatting, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TameAutoFormat.htm. From your comments, I suspect you're a very new Word user; you might want to look at Shauna Kelly's introduction to Word use at http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/conc...ion/index.html There are four kinds of indents in Word: left, right, first-line, and hanging. These are all represented by markers on the ruler (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm), and the easiest way to see what they do might be to drag the ruler markers in turn to see their effect on a block of text. The left indent setting indents the entire paragraph from the left margin, and the right indent does the same on the right. Ordinarily you will indent it to be inside the margin, so that the paragraph is narrower than the rest of the text (a block quote, for example), but you can use a negative indent (sometimes called an "outdent") to allow the paragraph to extend into the margin. You may have seen this with headings in books that stick out into the left margin. The first-line indent applies a left indent to just the first line of a paragraph. This keeps you from having to press Tab at the beginning of every paragraph when you want text to be indented the way it usually is in books. The hanging indent does just the opposite: it indents every line except the first. One of the most common uses for this is bulleted or numbered paragraphs, and if you use the Bullets or Numbering button on your toolbar, you'll see that the paragraph has a hanging indent. "Wrap to window" is a red herring in your case, but I'll try to explain it anyway. It is a view setting. When you are in Print Layout view, which is the view most users use most of the time, your text wraps (starts a new line) at the right margin, just the way it will when you print the page. If you switch to Normal view (which most users don't use, though I use it most of the time), all the text is on the left and, unless you're using a high Zoom ratio or a narrow window, there's a lot of empty space on the right. If you keep a task pane open, that takes up some of the space, but if you're, for example, a novelist and just want to use the space to write in and want to be able to see as much of the text as possible, you can, when you are in Normal view, choose the "Wrap to window" view setting, and the text will run all the way to the right side of the window before wrapping. This is not WYSIWYG at all (doesn't represent what will print), but it does make the most efficient use of the space. It's suitable only for text-intensive documents--wouldn't be useful at all for documents containing graphics, tables, etc. (but then neither is Normal view most of the time). -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply. I need time to study and follow up on your explanation here. I'm going to try to figure things out. It sure takes time to learn this program.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm slowly going through the Tutorials on Word. So far, so good. Do you use Microsoft Word at work?

Do you have a tab set that is outside your margin? Also, check your
paragraph format to ensure that the left and right indents are not a negative number.
