MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2006My word wrap doesn't wrap!
When I'm typing along and come to the end of the line, Word breaks up whatever word doesn't fit and sticks the rest on the next line. The documentation states that it is supposed to stick the entire word on the next line, not leave one or two letters on the previous line. I'm sure it's something simple, but I've looked everywhere and can't find a check box or a setting to fix this. H ALP Wrapless, I think your document has become corrupt. If this applies to all your documents even new ones than your normal.dot is probably gone corrupt. The only other reason I can think off is a problem with the font you are using. First read this: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm If it does not help, post again.

I've tried the steps on the link you provided, but nothing seemed to help. This is normal body text...nothing special about it. Thanks - cadbetty > Wrapless, > I think your document has become corrupt. If this applies to all your [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > setting to fix this. H > > ALP This sounds like what would happen with a non-breaking space between each word. Have you looked at your document with non-printing characters displayed? A regular space will be a dot while a non-breaking space will look like a degree symbol. º Don't know how you would be doing this, though. Also, try turning on table gridlines. I'm pretty sure Suzanne Barnhill has answered similar problems in the past, but that may have been pages that wouldn't break, rather than lines.

I have paragraph marks, indent marks, and a square at the beginning of each new paragraph. I've deleted all unused styles in my document. I'll look around for line break options. I still need some help with this. It's beyond frustrating. -cadbetty > This sounds like what would happen with a non-breaking space between each > word.

Ordinary spaces will show up as a tiny dot with non-printing characters displayed. If you do have non-printing charters displayed and you are not seeing dots, you are getting something other than a normal space when you press the spacebar. That would explain your problem and help with fixing it but I would be surprised if it were the case.

I haven't done anything earth shattering, in fact I've hardly done anything at all with Word in ages. Is the software still that unstable? Lastly, how does one UN-corrupt this thing.....and please don't tell me I have to re-install Word.

For starters, try deleting and reinstalling the printer. If that doesn't help, delete and reinstall the font. SignatureSuzanne S.

As the tips instructed, I obliterated the sucker and then opened Word. This apparently forces Word to create a new, pristine normal.dot and Voila!! All was well in Linewrapland! My only concern is this; will opening documents created with the tainted template cause the issue to return? > Haven't you already been pointed to > http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm?
