Ack!  No, there's no need to do that.  If a line is overlong,
insert a hard return (Enter key) into the appropriate place.
You now have ashort line.  Jump to the end (End key)
and press Delete.  The short line is now combined with
the following line.  Insert one or two spaces as needed.

You may now have an overlong line again.  Repeat the procedure
till you get to the end of the paragraph.  With practice
this becomes automatic.  But no retyping is required.
