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:

If it does not help, post again.

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
