In order to add comments to a long text printout, I am chosing to use MS

The problem is that I cannot turn off wrapping of text at all. The best I
can do is Options-View-Wrap to Window. However, this isn't good enough...
Is there a way to turn off the wrapping so and use horizontal scroll bar
(for the purpose it was designed for)?


No. What you want is a text editor, not a word processor.

Try using NotePad or, if you want something programmable, any of the
"programmer's text editor" programs. I favor UltraEdit, but there are
lots of them.
