add a file $HOME/vimfiles/after/ftplugin/text.vim (for Windows) or
$HOME/.vim/after/ftplugin/text.vim (for Unix) (in either case, create
missing directories, if any, as you go).

In that file, either the following commands:

setlocal wm=0
let &l:tw = &columns

to break lines at the screen width current when the file is opened, or

setlocal tw=0 wm=0 wrap

not to break lines at all ("file lines" longer than the screen width
will be wrapped onto several "screen lines" but with no insertion of any
end-of-line marker).

See also the 'linebreak' option if you want the wrap to happen between
words but not break lines in the file.

:help 'wrapmargin'
:help 'textwidth'
:help 'wrap'
:help 'linebreak'
:help after-directory

and about the latter, I don't agree when the help says that it is
"rarely needed".

Alternatively, if your vimrc invokes the vimrc_example.vim, or if it was
copied from the version on the vimrc_example.vim which was current when
you first installed Vim, you have an autocommand: see
$VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim lines 69-70:

" For all text files set 'textwidth' to 78 characters.
autocmd FileType text setlocal textwidth=78

DO NOT modify the vimrc_example.vim (any upgrade may silently replace
it). If that autocommand was copied into your vimrc, you may remove it
there. Otherwise, immediately after the line which invokes the
vimrc_example.vim (with a :source or :runtime statement), add

au! vimrcEx FileType text

to remove that autocommand.

Best regards,
Tony.
