Default cut and paste from a document to Word

Hi, I have Microsoft Word 2013 and I have tried importing pdf files for editing but it does not work very well. I recently downloaded a free PDF converter which is called AbleWord which is a very basic PDF converter and does very well. My problem is that I opened the PDF file and cut & pasted the text into my Word document. Everything was fine except that the original text came from a document that was only 6.5" wide and I was importing into an 81/2 x 11" document. I thought that the paragraph would automatically spread out to fit the new larger space but it did not; so I tried selecting the text & clicked on clear formatting but to no avail. This was a relatively short paragraph so I manually edited the text to fill the larger space. You can see that this would be time consuming to the max if you had a lot of text. What am I doing wrong or do you think that there is a problem with the PDF converter? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Manny
