Word Wrap, crossed-eyes, and so forth with text-fields

I suppose I am trying to reinvent the wheel (my problem is
that my wheels are square), but . . . 

If I set wordWrap to true words get chopped in half

&  

if I set wordWrap to false one has to scroll laterally and
vertically,

and the whole thing is unusable.

I would like (as, I suspect, would quite a few others) to
know how to wordWrap, but only at the word-boundaries


. . . OK, OK, OK  . . .

just waiting for some smart linguist to point out that
word-boundaries are arbitrary conventions forced on us by
schoolteachers, and so forth.

Notwithstanding this, it is bloody hard work trying to read
a text field where half the words are chopped in half.

Help gratefully recieved,

Richmond
