In vim, 80 characters is 80 character-cells so it fits exactly. In
Word, AFAIK, there is no "make the width 80 characters" but rather
margins (set in units of inches/mm/cm/whatever) and variable fonts
(set in units of points, potentially monospace, potentially
proportional). So Vim is giving you 80 actual characters, but Word
is not giving you 80 full-width-Chinese-glyph characters. Rather,
Word may be giving you 80 of *some* average character (usually an
"M") and doing whatever it wishes with the spacing. For best results
in Word, you'd want to specify a monospace font and paste 80 wide
characters, then set your margins & font-size accordingly.
