Default Setting margin or line break to 70 character max

Hello,

Is there a way to set margins based on character width? I know that if my
document has more than 70 characters per line, the formatting will be messed
up. How do I format my document so that each line will take no more than 70
characters?

Thanks in advance.

You could use a mono-spaced font (e.g., Courier New), and then measure the
length of a line with 70 characters, and set the margin there.
