I can only help with a word-trim.  To do that, I treat the text as an
array that uses the space character as a delimiter.
<cfset desc = ListDeleteAt(desc, ListLen(desc, " "), " ")> <!---
deletes to the last full word --->

It seems odd to me that Left/right, etc is stripping the html.  Maybe
you can provide some code or sample?
