Hi Aku,
this can't be done unfortunately. The Windows DLL that manages richedit 
controls refuses to change from word-wrap to non-word-wrap and visa 
versa at runtime. There is no message you can send to the DLL do this. 
I've tried many different things and can;t make it happen. The microsoft 
documentation has nothing to say on the subject.

The only thing I can suggest is that you have two richedit controls 
located at the same spot on the window, and just keep one visible at any 
time. To switch to word-wrap, set the non-word-wrap control to invisible 
and make visible the word-wrap control.
