The solution which I use is to use the "Format" menu option from the
pull-down "Extras" menu.  You can define your own "Extras" menu (check
you Open Windows Documentation for details, or the man page for textedit.)

Select your entire text (4 clicks), then select "Format" from the "Extras"
menu.  This will run the selected text through the Unix filter "fmt" which 
adds new lines at word boundaries.  What column to cut at is a command line
parameter to "fmt".  I also use the "-s" option to "fmt" to keep tables and
such intact.  Hope this helps.
