My friend asked me to convert a doc file he sent me into html.
He said he wanted it to look exactly like the doc.
So I put <br /> in between the lines so the text appears like the one in doc.
But he says now the text looks weird.
Is it because I used <br />?
Is text wrapping automatically done?

Yes, text-wrapping is automatic, depending on the widths that you defined.

If you want the text to be EXACT, then put his text inside <pre></pre> tags.

Better, use <p style="">paragraph</p>. In this way, you can use special space parameters and text size for every paragraph.. color, font, etc. For heading use <h1 style="">,<h2 style=""> before <p>.

Better, use <p style="">paragraph</p>.

Not necessary IF he wants to duplicate the text EXACTLY as it was written.
