Alternately to putting the command in your startup file, you may want to set the "textwidth" option manually for a file. Depends on how often you work with 45-column text files. If you're editing an existing file and you set that option, VIM won't automatically rearrange the characters so that there are only 45 per line. You'll probably want to write a script that will do that for you.
To justify text, you need to know a little VIM scripting (namely, how to use functions). There's a VIM script file called "justify.vim" (or something similar) in the "macros" folder somewhere in the VIM installation. If you run that script, it'll set up the "Justify()" function and some useful user-defined commands like ":Justify" and "_j" that you can use. I've used this function, and I think it only works if you have the "lbr" option switched off (I'm talking about VIM 6.0 or above).
