Default How do I limit the number of characters in a line?

Use a monospaced font such as Courier New and adjust the font size and
margins to result in 50 characters per line, but note that any text you
paste into a Web form will wrap naturally just as it does in Word. And the
line endings in Word wouldn't be preserved anyway unless you inserted a line
break at the end of every line.
