  My text is breaking over lines, and I want to get rid of the word-breaks (word-wraps). I have tried all of the following in the css:
  { word-break: keep-all; }
  { word-break: keep-all: !important }
  { word-wrap: none; }
  { word-wrap: nowrap; }

  I am new to this. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!!!

  Hi Bethany

  You need to be on the WordPress.com Premium Plan for custom CSS to save. You can only preview custom CSS on the free plan.

  Select Appearance > Customize > CSS from your Admin Dashboard and enter the custom CSS there.

  The following custom CSS should work for you.

  .entry-content {
      word-wrap: normal;
  }

  Hi,

  Thank you for your reply. I tried this but it didn’t work. The word-breaks only seem to be happening when using IE. Any other ideas?

  Can you give me an example of a page where this is causing a problem for you.

  Wow, thanks for responding so quickly!

  Sure, but you have to go through Internet Explorer.
