Default text wrapping before my right margin

You implied it, I guess. When I first read your post, I thought it was
completely out in left field, but then I reread the OP, caught the part
about setting column width, and divined why you had suggested the article.

Well, although that's what I was thinking, I didn't actually suggest it.

As Stefan suggests, the fact that opening the Columns dialog and clicking
on the Preset picture for One corrects the wrapping suggests that the
Normal template has somehow acquired an incorrect column width setting;
unfortunately, the only way to correct this is to open Normal.dot
directly and correct it.

When I open a new document in Word 2003, my text will wrap 1/2 inch
before
my right margin (i.e. at 6 inches instead of 6.5 inches). My margins
are set
at 1" L & R and there is no indent set. The only way I've found around
this
is to either set it for 1 column of 6.5 inch width, or to set my right
margin
at 0.5 inches so the text will wrap at 6.5 inches.

Any idea how to fix this so my text will wrap at the correct margin when
I
start a new document? Thanks!
