At end of line text instead of dropping down to next line begins again at left and continues over same line.

Check the leading. Maybe it's set at zero.

When text overprints on the same line within a single paragraph, it's a line spacing, aka leading, issue. Increase the leading value. For body copy, start at typesize + 2 pts, i.e., 10 pt type on 12 pt leading. Increase or decrease from there.
