When Emacs wraps your text in the middle of a word, that's only for display purposes. The text is still one line logically, and if you save it to a file, Emacs does not mark the line breaks in any way. If you want Emacs to automatically break your text to many logical lines so that the generated newlines end up in the file, use auto-fill-mode. You may also find fill-paragraph (M-q) useful.
