You can compose plain text in Vim so that each paragraph is a single `physical' line (Vim will still form as many screen lines as needed to fit the text in). When you are finished, Word (or whatever so called word processor) will take care of formatting (word-wrapping, hyphenation etc.) automatically, as it will see each line-paragraph as a true paragraph. Another option is to port your Vim-prepared text to LyX (http://lyx.org) instead of to a more traditional word processor. LyX, like Vim, has an excellent documentation, and is an excellent document preparation system. In addition, you will not need to adhere to the one-paragraph- one-line rule while in Vim. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
