I want Microsoft Word 2010 to force split words exactly where the line ends, even if it is "wrong and unreadable". Font is some monotype (Courier New).

The text is in Text field which has fixed width. I found some option in Text field Format - Wrap lines inside. But it only disables / enables whole wrapping.

The text will be printed over uniform spaced boxes, each for one letter (postal order).

Examples:

Current:

some text with          |
looooooooooong word     |

What i want:

some text with looooooo |
oooong word             |

I tried to google it for an hour, but everybody wants the exact opposite (hard spaces etc..)
