A little bit of research wouldn't hurt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_wrap#Algorithm You can split text in R with strsplit, get the length of strings with nchar, and add up the lengths with + or sum. The greedy algorithm just takes as many strings until the next one would go over the line length, and then spits those out and a new line, and carries on. The other algorithm on Wikipedia looks much more fun.
