We examine the line-wrap feature of text processors and show that adding
characters to previously formatted lines leads to the cascading of words to
subsequent lines and forms a state of self-organized criticality. We show the
connection to one-dimensional random walks and diffusion problems, and we
examine the predictability of catastrophic cascades.
