My word wrap doesn't wrap!
Unlikely. If the documents are not already corrupt, they will remain
uncorrupted unless you screw them up -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrapless wrote: Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are an excellent pointer, indeed madam! I followed your pointing and learned all about my corrupted normal.dot template. As the tips instructed, I obliterated the sucker and then opened Word. This apparently forces Word to create a new, pristine normal.dot and Voila!! All was well in Linewrapland! My only concern is this; will opening documents created with the tainted template cause the issue to return? "Suzanne S.

"wrapless" wrote in message ... Ok, how on earth did it get corrupted? I haven't done anything earth shattering, in fact I've hardly done anything at all with Word in ages. Is the software still that unstable? Lastly, how does one UN-corrupt this thing.....and please don't tell me I have to re-install Word. Microsoft HAS to have come up with a more practical answer to its woes by now. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The nonbreaking spaces are a red herring, I think.

"wrapless" wrote in message ... 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! 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.

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. 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.

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 |
