If the + button isn't working, try clicking the "show formatting" button in word (looks like a paragraph mark). See what symbol is between the two parts you are trying to combine into a single segment, that might shed some light on your issue.
If your document was OCR'd, that would explain a lot. Those types of documents often have hard returns instead of normal line breaks, which causes odd segmentation. When that happens, if the document isn't too long, I sometimes go through and clean things up manually beforehand, to make segmentation easier.
