How can I get word wrap to work again. We had to have our system reloaded and
now word wrap does not work. When I am typing a document and get to the end
of a line the text will split and part will stay on the current line and
whatever text that doesn't fit goes to the next line. How can I turn word
wrap back on...Help!

From your description, that is the software is word wrapping in the normal
manner. What used to happen before?

Perhaps it might be easier for your to explain if you gave an example of the
before and after behaviour.

For future reference, there is almost no reason for reloading the software.

Before the system reload, Word was working fine. I've used it for 12 years.
Usually when you get to the end of a line and run out of room for a word, it
is moved to the next line. It now writes part of the word on the line and
whatever text doesn't fit moves to the next line. e.g.
lin
e

This is usually an indication of document corruption. If it's happening in
all new documents, it could be a symptom of corruption in Normal.dot. The
problem is that Word has come to view your font as a "symbol" or "pi" font
that can be broken anywhere. Of course, it could also be a problem with a
specific font, but in general it's more likely to be document corruption.
