In standard vi:

	{!}fmt -76

In vi, on an OS with decent utilities installed:

	{!}par 76

In vim:

	{gq}

The last two options are vastly preferred if you have them, as they give
you more control over the output (:help fo-table in vim will give you
details). par, in particular, is an amazing tool that everyone should have.

Of course, all of the above can all be mapped to a single keystroke if
you want...
