Hi Birthe. I'm assuming you're talking about Java source code.

I don't think that Eclipse automatically does word-wrap as you are
typing. However, you can press Ctrl+Shift+F in the editor to format the
source code, and it wraps text at that time.

If you go to Preferences/Java/Code Style/Formatter, then press Edit, you
get a "Profile 'Eclipse [built-in]'" dialog with about a million options
for how to format the source. One of the tabs is called Line Wrapping
and has a bunch of settings, including maximum line width.

Hope this helps. Mark

Assuming Java code you can configure the formatting preferences for Line
Wrapping by:

Window>Preferences>Java>Code Style>Formatter
Click on the Edit... button
Go to the Line Wrapping tab and configure as you require
Set a new Profile Name (if you are editing the build it profie) and click
Apply or OK

And, of course, if you have plug-ins for other languages, their
formatting preferences should have similar options.
