Hello all,

how can I make the text fow within a certain area, say: a width of  72
columns? The text should behave just as if it was typed into some word
processor like word. Deleting a word or two in the first line should
lead to the remaining lines rearranging.

I know about the M-q key which does exactly what I want. But I want
emacs to do this automatically.

Possible?

M-x longlines-mode RET

note: when you save the file, each paragraph is saved as one long line, i.e.,
the wrapping is done with soft newlines which aren't saved to disk. also, this
mode seems to mess up line numbering for things like forward and inverse search
in AUCTeX or for jumping to compilation errors in LaTeX files.

Exactly what I wanted, thanks!

That's fine for me, as I'm writing normal Text, and no TeX things.

Greetings!
