Ok, I've got to ask here about something that's been bugging me cause I can't make it happen yet. I'm trying to set the margin in Vi(m) so that the text will wrap with words (at about 70 chars across or so) instead of just on a per-letter basis. I figure if someone else has been using it for word processing stuff then someone must have an idea of what options to set. I've played with "wrapmargin" and "textwidth", but so far have not hitting a winning combination. Any suggestions?
