Word wrap

When entering text into a word processor, it is most important that you do not press the Return key when you see the text cursor coming to the end of the line. Just keep on entering your text.

The word processor will automatically take a new line when it needs to, and make sure that words are not split at the end of the line.

This feature of word processing is called word wrap.
