Default copying email to Word and expanding text to full line width

Hello:
I often want to copy a long email message to Word for printout; very often
the email appears on my screen as half-page width on the left, and copies
that way to Word. How can I automatically expand the text to full line width
without using delete/backspace for every line. I understand there is a
funciton in Word that does this automatically?
Thanks,
Bill
