How to format a JTextField so words don't cutoff?

I have a JTextField which cuts off my input making the sentence go on past the bounds instead of starting a new line every 5 words or so. I have tried in the past this which has worked for a JLabel but not for JtextField: 

String html1 = "<html><body style='width: ";
String html2 = "px'>";
labell.setText(html1+"300"+html2+content);
