Default Hard carriage returns

Thank you, Suzanne S. Barnhill, for a quick reply,
here's what I want:
Let's say, that's how a story looks:

Community Colleges, institutions of
higher education offering two-year
programs of general study or technical
or vocational training.

Lines wrapped at paper margins. Now whether I copy the text or save it in
plain text format (with or without line breaks LR/LF) it won't preserve the
original word wrapping. When I use the concordance software to get the word
from the first line, say "story" it would also quote the sentence cut at a
line break, but as lines are only wrapped at margins and don't actually have
any breaks the concordance software instead of quoting the first line only
would grab the whole sentence, which might be as long as a paragraph. Thus
this would also render line numbering in MS Word useless for the concordance
software.
So, what I would like to do is to make this "line wrapping" permanent,
insert some sort of carriage returns automatically, not by hand. Is there an
easy way to do that?
Thanx,
ArthurN
