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... :) /Mathias
