Reading your other reply, I think you need something different.

Am I correct in thinking that you find the lines of text are TOO long?

You want shorter lines so that it is easier to read?

Don't use Ctrl+P; type ^p (the ^ character is Shift+6 on U.S. keyboards).

Or click More to expand the dialog, click Special, and choose Paragraph Mark
from the menu.

Use Ctrl+A to select all of the text then use the Format Paragraph dialog to
add space after each paragraph.

You've had quite a few replies that should have helped.
