Metacard does that. If there is no space on the line it just keeps on going.
You have to script the behavior you want with either a cr or space after the word.
Also even when the field wraps the lines (in an open field) if you do "put the num
of lines of fld x" it returns 1 unless you have a cr after each wrapped line.
