When typing a term paper my son used the enter key when he thought he had
reached the right side of the document, instead of just typing and letting
word use the margins for the width of his document. Now he can't make his
lines fill the entire width of the page

you could try turning on the Show/Hide feature to reveal hidden codes and
then manually removing each paragraph mark at the end of each line.
(Show/Hide is that backwards looking "P" - Home tab, Paragaph group).

not sure if there is a quicker way - maybe using Find/Replace. Click
"Replace" (Editing Group of the Home tab). Click "More" and then in the
"Special" menu, choose Paragraph mark (first one in the list). In the Replace
with box, press the spacebar to add a replace the paragraph mark with a
space...
