Wor 07 Format Problem from Paste

I opened a txt file and the paragraphs were formated for narrow pages. How do I fill the width of the page with the text in my word version of this article. Here is what it looks like when I paste it into word and this is what I want it to look like. The document is 381 pages.

This is what the document looks like with text only filling partial width of page

This is what I want the paragraphs to look like, filling the full width of the page.
