Text run on (text bleeding off page - word wrapping un-scaled)

[Majestic One]

I am using an older template (probably from like version 7 or 8 i guess) but still it should NOT matter of that.
but my problem is, I am getting text that runs out of bounds and off the edge of the web template i am using.
it is my first attempt at using this program seriously, and when i try to display in Firefox, the text looks like it has been murdered. in IE it looks fine on my machine, but looks screwy on 1 of my other 5 machines.
All machines are running windows 7 ultimate, and all have their updates etc. I am running the latest browser (IE & Firefox) and have searched this forum (and google) freaking SILLY looking for a solution; and when i can NOT find a solution, it is usualy due to an isolated issue with the end user... that would be me.

I am using the text boxes etc from the template and anytime i shorten the end of the sentence and hit return throughout the entire paragraph making it only 5 words long versus 10 words long, it just auto shrinks the text box smaller thus causing the issue to persist.

There is No WYSIWYG what so ever when it comes to Firefox.
Also I am getting no errors according to this site:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...alidator%2F1.3

but I have just discovered that this site i just discovered ( http://timestopper.net/ )doesn't display properly in firefox either but adds extra content when using IE:


here is a pic of pre launch:


here is a pic in IE:


and here is a pic of Firefox:


anyone have any ideas? thank you for any of your time incurred.

Have you modified the default text size in your browser? This can cause this to happen.

Also, try selecting the text and bringing the text to the front (Ctrl F)

I know what it is as I've had the same problem!
Give your textbox the name htmlblocktext it should be fine after this

How does he do this?

Make certain you are not resizing the text area using the Selector Tool (V). For resizing text areas, always use the Text Tool (T).

Good thinking!
Select and right click the textblock => Click Names => Write htmlblocktext and add it.
This should make you text stop at the border of your box and continue below which I think is what you want?
See screenshot (it's in a different language (I'm Belgian) but the layout should be the same
