Larry, 

You may find the following 2 codes useful in your project

 

The assisted hyphen is an optional hyphen, ie will only break the word if it
can't fit on the one line. 

And the hard-space code will keep 2 words together on the one line if you so
wish.

 

Enter them using the ctrl-[ command. The hard space code can also be entered
using Alt-F2

 

With using these codes, you can still take advantage of the automatic
formatting and line runovers but have the line endings as you wish.

 

abc[-]def -- Assisted-hyphenation code. This code tells the formatter that,
if necessary, the word may be broken at that point to hyphenate at the end
of line. This code is not recommended for frequent use, as it must not be
used in the midst of or abutting contractions affected by hyphenation.
However, it can be useful for better format treatment in the case of
exceedingly long words.

 

abc[']def -- Hard-space code. This code acts like a non-space character, but
displays as a space.
