Well, I tried to reproduce this on my system (Win 3.0 in Enhanced mode, 
WFW 1.1, 16MHz 386, Paradise Pro card in 800x600x16, using the VGA fonts
(96 dpi))

I used an 18-point font, with 1" margins, and right justification (normal,
not stretched out to the left margin also).  The text looks like it's
breaking in the right place to me (1 page document, converted to 18 point).
In other words, if WFW left one more word on the same line, it would be
past what it shows as the margin.

What display are you using?  (Which driver, fonts, resolution?)  It may
just be a quirk of your display driver.
