Have you considered visual-line-mode? It will properly align the
document without permanent wrapping (which you may or may not want). I
use visual-line-mode extensively, as it allows me to keep long,
single-line (single Emacs-line) paragraphs (for exporting), but allows
me to have a visually pleasing screen (no arrows).
Cheers.
