How do I get normal view to wrap text?

[bassclef54]

I just converted from Office '03 to '07. I used '03s draft view a lot so I
could enlarge the text size and keep it all w/in my monitor's display.

Does '07 offer that? I can't find it anywhere. When I use the '07 normal
view, the text strings across the screen, beyond the right hand display area,
rather than wrapping.

Office Button | Word Options | Advanced | Show Document Content: "Show text
wrapped within the document window."

Is there even a point to asking why that would be an option? Is it at
least checked by default?

It is not checked by default because the default in Normal/Draft view is to
show the line breaks as they would be in the document. The option previously
worded "Wrap to window" instead uses the entire width of the screen/window
(as in Web Layout view), which is more efficient for display of a great deal
of text but is (obviously) not at all WYSIWYG (not that Normal/Draft view
is, anyway).
