However a charWrap can be performed in LiveCode comparatively easily:

Button charWrap:

on mouseUp
   put empty into fld "fKUP"
   put fld "f2" into EFF2
   put empty into fld "f2"
   repeat until EFF2 is empty
      put char 1 of EFF2 after fld "fKUP"
      if the (formattedWidth of fld "fKUP") > (width of fld "f2") then
         put (fld "fKUP" & cr) after fld "f2"
         put empty into fld "fKUP"
      else
         --nix
      end if
      delete char 1 of EFF2
   end repeat
   put fld "fKUP" after fld "f2"
end mouseUp

Not any more, more like Schlagmetal these days.

I did raise an eyebrow at that 'gold standard' mention!

Off Topic ramble:
Microsoft Word may be a standard thanks to it dominating the business world, but 'Gold Standard' implies quality and excellence – of which Word has an astonishing lack of either. IMO it's been a lumbering behemoth since Word 5.1. Frankly, the ONLY thing about Word that I like is its live word count, which came directly from a project I made and pushed hard at the MS Office project manager in the mid-90s. (Made using SuperCard, so the sole 'useful-to-me' feature in Word originated in an xTalk project.
