I do not think that there is any way to turn it off. However, you can use a
non-breaking space (Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar) to keep the words that it separates
all together on one line

I want to turn off word wrap, and instead just wrap at the last
available character without hypenation mark.
(like the old text editors did)

I'm writing some technical notes that include directories with spaces
in the names and word is insisting on wrapping at the space..
