Default Fitting text to page width

I've copied some text from a web page and pasted it into Word 2007. I'm going
to print it in A4. After pasting, each line goes only about half way of the
paper's width before going to the next line. Is there a quick way to fit the
text to the width of the paper since that would shorten the length of the
document considerably. Thanks

Whenever you're pasting _text_ from one source to another---even when it's
from another Word document but _especially_ when it's from a webpage---ALWAYS
make sure you use Paste Special to paste the text. When you do, the text you
want to add to your document is pasted in WITHOUT its native formatting, and
takes on the paragraph formatting of the document you're pasting into.
