Proper formatting of text in articles?

    I have some articles that are in plain text files .txt and they are pretty narrow in width. Is there a way in Microsoft word or another program that would automatically change the width without me having to do it manually? I will post an emample of what i mean!


    Eating Healthy When Eating Out

    If you go out to a restaurant to eat, you probably
    watch your calories very closely. To assist you
    with your calorie watching when dining out, these
    tips will help you make the most of it.

    - Always order salad dressings or sauces on the side,
    as this way you have control over how much you add
    to your meal.

    - When you order grilled fish or vegetables, you
    should ask that the food be grilled without butter
    or oil, or prepared with very little or either or.

    - Anytime you order pasta dishes, be on the lookout
    for tomato based sauces instead of the cream based
    sauces. Tomato based sauces are much lower in fat
    and calories, and tomato sauce can even be counted
    as a vegetable!

    - You should always try to drink water, diet soda,
    or tea instead of soda or beverages that contain
    alcohol.

    - If you order dessert, share with a friend. Half
    of the dessert will equal half of the calories.

    - When you choose a soup, remember that cream
    based soups are higher in fat and calories than
    other soups. A soup can be a great appetizer, as
    most are low in calories and you fill you up pretty
    fast.

    - When ordering a baked potato, ask for salsa instead
    of sour cream, butter, cheese, or even bacon. Salsa
    is very low in calories and provides a healthy
    alternative with plenty of flavor and spice.

    - When you are full, stop eating. Listen to your
    body and what it tells you.

    i could be wrong, but each paragraph can be on one line.

    I tried ...

    for one, I don't have microsoft word ...

    and another - I tried loads of different things to get rid of the formatting and came up with naught! Weird!

    Surely it can't be impossible?
