   I see. I sometime need such precise feature too.   
      
   A have several in my collection which match the requirement.   
      
   AkelPad. Has a limit for number of characters or words per line. Including   
   showing a vertical line for the limit at specific column number (can be   
   different that the wrapping position).   
      
   EditPad Lite. Has predefined limits for number of characters per line: 56,   
   64, 72, 80, 96. BUT: it doesn't seem to be customizable to a user defined   
   number. CAVEAT: WILL split & break words themselves. i.e. it character-wrap   
   instead of word-wrap. I think the author misunderstood the meaning of   
   "word-wrap".   
      
   MadEdit. Has user definable limit for number of characters per line.   
      
   PSPad. Has user definable limit for number of characters per line via   
   "soft-wrap" and "right edge" vertical line settings. "Soft wrap" must be   
   enabled, otherwise it'll wrap at window width.   
      
      
   FYI, Notepad++ doesn't have any. What a shame.
