Are there spaces? If you're typing "textextextextext" or something there's no spaces for word wrap to work with

It's because you're doing this in the Design View of Dreamweaver. Go into the code part that's holding the text and type to your heart's content and it'll drop down like it's supposed to, providing you're not doing what Jay said up there ^.

While you're at it, I'd also recommend using CSS to lay out your CBs, providing it's the right type.

It's useful in that all the CBs will then use the same images, so pages will load faster and it'll be way faster to code the pages, you just need to specify the width of each CB you want. I know this isnt clear, but you can see an example here: http://www.lonestarstories.com . All the cbs there are using the same images.
