            <br /><p>........... ARTICLE IN HERE .........</p>
            </center>

#textcontent {  
    margin-right: 25px;
}

#textcontent p {    
    margin-right: -24px;
    width: 663px;

ARTICLE IN HERE will display an article posted by user.

Problem:

A line of an article by pass the side boundries. How can i set specific fixed width so the text gets indented (moved to second line) automatically and doesn’t pass the side borders?

Note: text area height gets expanded automatically as lines of text increase.

Extra Info:

<div id="posted_wrap">
        <div id="posted_middle">
            <div id="posted_top"></div>         
                   <div id="textcontent">
                   <center>
                      <br /><p><?php echo $thread; ?></p>
                   </center>
                </div>
            <br />
            <div id="posted_bottom"></div>

    #textcontent p {
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
width: 663px;

    Remove <center> as it’s not needed, and is deprecated. Set your margin of your paragraph tag to have auto (left and right).

    That code works. The code you posted works too – so you may have a positioning or float issue going on above the code you’re struggling with.

    If those black “chalk” lines are a background image you can add:
    padding:0 10px (for example) to your <p> tag to keep the text inside further from the edges.
