An easy way to do that is to move your cursor to somewhere in that 
paragraph (it's probably already there since you just edited a line 
there) and type

    gqip

That will reformat the entire paragraph.  You can find out more 
about the gq command in vim's built-in help system by executing

    :help formatting

and

    :help 10.7

HTH,
