Hi,

I'm trying to take a piece of a longer text and display it so that it is 
exactly 4 lines long and 200 pixels wide.  If I use the regular text string 
functions (right, left, mid, etc.)  I can create 4 lines with a certain number 
of characters, but depending on the text, sometimes they are too long or so 
short that I could have fit another word on the line.  Is there a function that 
takes into account the actual linear length in pixels of a line of text 
formatted in the current style?  Also the original text could have HTML codes 
in it, so I would want to ignore these when selecting the text so that I don't 
count non-displaying characters or leave open ended HTML in my page.

If I have the wrong approach, any guidance would be appreciated.
