My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
When I type text into a Word document, the text wraps before it reaches the
right margin. I've tried resetting my "default" settings to old documents where I didn't have this problem, but whenever I open a new document, the same problem appears. |

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
From the format menu, select Paragraph and set the Alignment to "Justified"
If you want this all the time, modify the paragraph format in the normal style in this manner. -- Hope this helps.

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
I would strongly advise against making the default Normal style justified,
as this will have trickle-down effects on other styles. Better to use Body Text instead and make it justified. -- Suzanne S.

Check Format | Paragraph to see if there is a right indent applied.

Thank you both for your suggestions. Neither of them worked. If you can
think of anything else PLEASE let me know. I can't understand how this happened and I've checked every setting I can think of to fix it! "Suzanne S.

Do you have the margins displayed (Tools | Options | View: Text boundaries)?
This might make it easier to see what's actually going on. What view are you using? -- Suzanne S.

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
I'm using print view. But after checking the text boundaries, they are not
set to the right margin. The top ruler shows the right boundary at 7.5", which is where I want it, but the text boundary line puts the boundary at 6". Is there a way to change this and to retain the changed area as the default setting? thank you for your help! Huge progress already!! "Suzanne S.

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
Under FilePage Setup, what margins do you have set?
It sounds to me like you are using Letter Size paper which is 8.5 inches wide and that you have the Left Margin set at 1" which means that the left edge of the paper will be a -1" on the ruler and the right edge of the paper will be at 7.5" Your saying that the text boundary is at 6" indicates that you have a 1.5" right margin. The white area of the ruler will extend from 0" to 6". If that is not the case, exactly what do you have for: Left Margin Right Margin -- Hope this helps.

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
The text boundary IS the right margin unless you are in a text box, say, or
a table that is narrower than the margin width. I'm wondering if you are misinterpreting the ruler; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/UsingRulers.htm -- Suzanne S.

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
My margins are set for .5" all around. Even if I set them for 1" or 1.5" or
anything else, the right tex boundary keeps showing itself shorter than the right margin setting. Now I'm desperate. I've taken a photo of my screen showing the text boundary line and showing the ruler with the margin setting. Maybe I'm just not describing it right. http://members.shaw.ca/radioisme select the file "screen shot". Thanks for your ongoing help. "Suzanne S.

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
It is obvious from your "screen shot" that (a) you don't know how to take a
screen shot (PrintScreen) and (b) the text boundary is something other than the margin. True text boundaries are dotted lines (this one looks solid) and will extend to connect to the "crop marks" in the corners (which I imagine you may be seeing because you have an Asian language enabled and not because you have text boundaries displayed). My guess is that what you're dealing with here is a text box, and the line (at least in this fuzzy photo) looks like the default border of a text box. FWIW, you obviously also have "Click and type" enabled--don't know whether that's relevant or not. -- Suzanne S.

My text won't go to the end of the right margin.
That's right, I don't know how to take a screen shot, but like I said, I'm
desperate! I have now figured it out. The lines around the text boundary are dotted when I expand my view to 200%+. They only appeared after I followed your suggestion to view the text boundary. I am able to move them to match my right margin, but I have to do that with every new document I open. I don't have asian languages enabled, as far as I can tell...I checked my language settings in Microsoft Office Tools...it's set for English -Canadian. I don't have a text box open either. Every new document I open has the same margin settings. I'm thinking I should just reinstall office and see where that takes me. I appreciate your help.
