word 2007--change copy from 1/2 of width of page to full width of page?
I have Word 2007. I have just downloaded text from Internet mail and
copied to Msft. Word 2007. When the text appears on a page, only one/half of the page width is filled with text. I have adjusted the margins of the page so that there are small margins on the right & left side. I CAN adjust the width of the text by going to end of each line & pressing the delete key so that the entire line is then filled with text. However this is cumbersome. I am therefore writing asking if I highlight the entire Word document can I then adjust the width of the text copy on a page using a single command? I hope I have explained my question clearly. If not, please advise! best, Aaron |

That happens sometimes. It's not a Word thing. It's because of the email
formatting. If you turn on the non-printing characters you'll see either ¶ or a bent arrow. That's what's causing the new lines. Try doing a find and replace. Find that symbol, replace it with nothing or a space. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 wrote in message ps.com...
