I'm not quite sure why you'd want a margin bell in Word but you can use Word
to produce a text file with line breaks at the end of each line as follows.
I don't know how to do this in Jaws but it should be possible.

Set the font to Courier New or some other monospace font.  Set the left and
right margins and/or font size so that a line will just hold however many
characters you want the maximum to be. Then type normally.  Word will
automatically wrap to the next line after spaces unless you hit Enter for a
new paragraph. If you insert or delete any words later, Word will re-wrap
the lines in the changed paragraph as necessary.

Then, when you save the file, do a "Save As" and select Plain Text from the
Save As Type pull-down list  This will bring up a File Conversion box.
Check the "Insert Line Breaks" option.  This will put a line break after
every line in the file.  Of course, once you've done this, you can't edit
the file so it's a good idea to also save the original file as an ordinary
Word document in case you want to edit it.

HTH,
