In emacs if I write a word it will get split in two when I get to the right
margin. How do I get the whole word on the next line?

Try longlines.el from Emacswiki. I'm a full-time writer, not a programmer,
and it's what I use.

Remove the mode that's causing that!
I've never seen GNU Emacs split a word -- it's not a text processor and
splits a line or sentence only between the words. You too can set
fill-column to a very high value, 99.999 for example. This will make
the line quite long ..

My guess is that the original poster have another definition of "word"
than you have. :)
In English, the primary "rule" seems to be to separate words instead
of writing them together. To use an example from your text above:
"text processor". Emacs will split that "word" for me if it is at the
end of a line and auto-fill-mode is on. In Swedish, that would have
been "ordbehandlare" (which are really two words mashed together,
"ord" and "behandlare" (word + processor)).
So, to answer the original poster, change your language to Swedish and
all of your problems will be solved... :)

This is a normal feature of a continuation line (line with bent arrows
on left and right fringes of long lines. If you move the cursor to
anywhere in a paragraph and then type M-q, you will cause the text to
fill to the width of the variable 'fill-column (default = 70). You can
set this to whatever you want with C-u (your-number-here) C-x f [no
spaces].
Also try "C-h i u u u .... until ding... m emacs <ret> s filling <ret>"
[no quotes, no spaces]. Then read all about it.
Good luck,
Ed

Either M-x auto-fill-mode RET or M-x longlines-mode RET
may do what you want.
