I have a related query. When typing in auto-fill-mode, words that run beyond the right edge of the window are wrapped around AFTER you've finished typing the entire word. Is there any way to have them wrap down to the next line as soon as you type the (right-edge + 1)'th character? I.e., is there any way, when typing Brian's example, to avoid seeing the "para/ graph" phenomenon even temporarily, but instead having "parag" wrapped around as soon as you type the "g"? Thanks...
