Default stop text wrapping in Word 2003 document

For what you're describing, you're probably better off using Notepad,
Wordpad, or Excel.

Wordwrap is a feature. There is no way to turn it off. You can effectively
prevent Word from wrapping very long lines, however, by a combination of
setting the paper width really wide, setting the left/right margins very
small, setting the font size very small, and choosing Ignore instead of Fix
when/if Word tells you that the margins are set outside the printable area.

Notepad and Wordpad have the ability to turn text wrapping on or off, how
can
I do this with Word?
I want to make a list of information where there is a new record on each
line and keep it as simple text. Even if I wrap to window, that's not
enough
space sometimes.
