Text Box Wrapping not sized to box

I'm working on a Newsletter. I've copied some test and pasted it into a text box. It doesn't "flow" correctly - no matter how I size the text box, it cuts off a word or partial word on the right side of the box. No graphics or tables just plain old text.

Hi Linda -

It depends on what you copied & from where. Try Edit> Paste Special -
Unformatted Text & see if that makes a difference. If so, format as desired.

It was from another Word document that was a full page wide, but no particular formatting. I did try the Paste Special unformatted text option, and it didn't work for the initial size of the text box (still cut off parts of words on the right), but when I enlarged the box a little, it eventually did leave a right margin space. Thanks so much for a PROMPT response. This was very helpful, and very quick.
