Issues with word processor word wrapping

I don't know if this has been discussed before but I'll ask it anyway.  I like to use word wrap but what is displayed in the editor and what is displayed in my drawing are totally differnent.  The last word on a line in the editor isn't the last word in the text displayed.  This makes it difficult when trying to use tabs.  Is there a setting to fix this?  I can change the display font size and it close to what is in the text but I have to change the font so small it's hard to read when editing.

    Just checking but  the screenshot is for edit text, when you used the  place text di you selected word wrap instead of by origin?

    Line  length is the number of characters allowed per line  this is  the old pre v8 pre word processor way we used to force word wrapping...

    The place text  word wrap should force you to define the  width first with 2 data points, so if you must use the edit  then use the copy cut  to clip board then try again with the word wrap option and  paste the text into the word processor....But again it will not look the same in model as it does in text editor

    Even if you dont use word wrap and have really long line length say use  LL=150 ( keyin) the word processor dialog doesnt look the same and to force word wrap even if use hard returns the text look exactly  the way I want it in WP editor...I thinks its alot to do with the workspace settings text size to emulate what you see in the dialog it has a certain size and its trying to scale up what you do so you can see it  and I think its all out off wack as we say here...You have to admire what our fellow acad users have available to them when it comes to text and dimensions..Lets hope all out text woes get  fixed in the commercial release of  CE....
