How do I stop Word from breaking words apart at the end of lines?

[Charlie]

Using Windows XP and MS Word 2007. When I type to the end of a line in a
Word document, it breaks the words apart instead of wrapping to the next line
or hyphenating the word. How do I stop this from occurring?

Assuming you're not using a "decorative" font, this is usually a sign of
document corruption (less often of font corruption); see
