I think Christian is asking for something like Emacs's (M-x
fill-paragraph) command which rejustifies every word in a paragraph to
fill up all blank spaces until the column wrap margin is reached.

So:
A.
aardvark aardvarks Aaron aback abaft abalone abalones abandon
abandoned abandoner 
abandoning abandonment abandonments abandons abase abased abasement

becomes

B. 
aardvark aardvarks Aaron aback abaft abalone abalones abandon
abandoned abandoner abandoning abandonment abandonments abandons abase
abased abasement

after a fill-paragraph. By the way, why on Earth is Wrap body in the
editor bound to Ctrl-z when this shortcut is universally accepted
elsewhere (eg GNOME & Win32) as "Undo"?

Yours sincerely,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
