Strange Tab alignment

[Denis Brennan]

I have a long document in Word 2000 that consists of text converted
from a table using tabs. Can anyone explain why on certain lines, the
text wraps at the page boundary whilst on others it extends beyond
that boundary? I want every line to wrap as it is extremely difficult
to edit the document as it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Denis

Hi, Denis. I would check the indent settings. Select all the tabbed text and
hit Format-Paragraph. Make sure the right indent is zero. If not, type a
zero in there.
<-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*->
Hope this helps!

Are lines separated by paragraph marks. If so, each can have its own
margins, lengths, tab stops, etc.

Barry,

Yes, each line is separated by paragraph marks. What I don't
understand is how each para. has generated its own formatting. There
seems no logic to it. Some very long lines (lots of text) qrap; others
of similar length don't.

Thanks,
Denis
