When you turn on Word Wrap it will automatically make sure your text is always in the visible space.  So if you have a lot of visible space then it doesn't need to wrap:

The indicators that show the lines being wrapped can be turned on or off using the "Show visual glyphs for word wrap" checkbox.

That is the coolness and power of the legendary Word Wrap. :)
