i'm assuming that you created a large TextBox where the user will enter text, doesn't the textBox have properties that you can set to allow word wrap, as in:
scroll bars
right to left
multiline
try playing with those, but if that doesn't work, you should be able to come up with a formula based on the size of the the text box based on the Left & Width properties and Font size to determine how many characters in a single line can fit in the textBox before reaching the right side of the box.
good luck
