Apparently, Word 2007 (and other word versions) don't have an option to wrap text. Please not that this is NOT the wrap text where the picture is placed and the text "wraps" around the image. This is absolutely not what I am referring to.



If a long word hits the end of the text box or page, and it cuts off with a hyphen and continues in the next line, it's called text-wrapping. As far as I know, there is no option to do this. Or, maybe there is, and I haven't been able to find it. I've searched through Google, but every other article and forum post always referred to the picture-wrapping.

Is there a way to activate text-wrapping in or out of a text box?

Have a look in the Page Layout group and experiment with the Hyphenation options.

Even without activating hyphenation, every Word version ever made has automatically wrapped text when it reaches the text margin or left indent, as appropriate; it takes extra effort on the users' part to achieve anything else.

You can enable hyphenation, as previously stated.

However, if you are saying that words are split at the end of text lines, without being moved as a whole to the next line, then something is wrong. Either the document is corrupt or you have inadvertently enabled some Asian (possibly Chinese) language settings.
