how to wrap text when pasting e-mail or notepad into Word?

[Bob]

Dear Word Users,
My search has been in vain so far for a way to wrap text in Word when I cut
and paste from, say, Notepad or an e-mail. The sentences jump

around like

this.

Is there a "word wrap" function somewhere on Word similar to what you find
in Notepad?
Any, all help greatly appreciated.

The problem is that such text has paragraph marks at the end of each line.
You can use AutoFormat or Find and Replace to clean it up, or display
non-printing characters and delete them yourself.
