Default Margins question

I have a document where the text is going to the next line even though it is
not at the right margin. I have all formatting marks turned on, and there
are no line breaks, tabs, or spaces. I have looked in the Page Setup and in
Format Paragraph, and all looks like it should be going out to 7", yet it
seems to always go to a new line at 6.5". There is no indentation set.

Any suggestions as to where to look? This is Word 2003

Thanks!!

I don't have a straight-forward answer. Do you have the Ruler displayed, and if so do you see any tab setting or indentation sneakily crept in? Also, to see your exact text frame, you could put the text boundaries on (Under Tools/Options Print and Web Layout Options). Gives this any insight?
