it is referred to as wrap around and run around, which moves the cursor to the next line when a line of text is filled; therefore, users are not required to press Enter after every line.
There is a "Toggle Word Wrap" command hidden in the "Window > Editor" menu (default shortcut is Alt+Shift+Y). Or you can use the Quick Access bar: Ctrl+3, and type wrap.
As for today, the current NetBeans (7.3) word-wraps comments with some nice available extra options when formatting. NB: Unfortunately, this is currently only available for the Java language.
You can launch the formatter with the context menu→Format, or if you did not change the standard shortcuts, Alt+Shift+F should do.
To access the corresponding configuration: Tools → Options → Editor → Formatting; Language: Java; Category: Comments

Your IDE won't format the comment for you. You will have to do it by hand. Yes, that means you have to re-format it once you add new words to it.
