Hello Jim,
First decide on a reasonable number --- of characters, you would
put in each line (say 80). Then do C-u 80 C-x f. This will set
"column-fill to 80. Anytime you have typed 80 characters on a
line pressing SPC will automatically start a new line.
In fact you could do this by putting a line in your .emacs file:
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
(setq column-fill 72)
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
