Default extra long lines and word split at end of line without hyphenation

I often write documents describing actions to be taken on some Unix servers
and often I cut and paste from a unix terminal to a MS Word document some
output lines. terminal lines are bigger then Word document lines, even 1000
characters, so word soft-break them into multiple lines. Pls two questions.
1) How can I have word not to soft-split these lines like some text
processors which allow very long lines? Notepad on Win 2000 allow 1024
characters. I tried to set negative paragraph right indentation but I cannot
go over a certain limit (-30 cm). I am not interested in printing results.
2) Even leaving soft line breaking, how can I have MS Word to split words
just at the last character that can fit in the line without hyphenation and
without moving the whole last word at the following logical line adding extra
white space at the end of the previous line?
