This is a normal feature of a continuation line (line with bent arrows
on left and right fringes of long lines.  If you move the cursor to
anywhere in a paragraph and then type M-q, you will cause the text to
fill to the width of the variable 'fill-column (default = 70). You can
set this to whatever you want with C-u (your-number-here) C-x f [no
spaces].
Also try "C-h i u u u .... until ding... m emacs <ret> s filling <ret>"
[no quotes, no spaces]. Then read all about it.

Good luck,

Ed
