How do I make Emacs wrap words for me?
======================================

   Use `auto-fill-mode', activated by typing `M-x auto-fill-mode'.  The
default maximum line width is 70, determined by the variable
`fill-column'.  To learn how to turn this on automatically, see Note:
Turning on auto-fill by default.
