I did something like this for a project a few months ago. In my case I was breaking a large amount of text into separate pages for printing. What I did was a recursive function that tried to fit a block of text into a text field, then if the text was too long the function split the text block in half and called itself with each half.
I think the recursive method is probably faster for large amounts of text, but for smaller fields your method would probably yield better results. -- ~Trout http://www.amongtrout.com On 3/29/06, Chris Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've searched a lot on google and the list and haven't found much, so > maybe I'm missing something obvious again. > > Basically I need to fill a text field, and when that text field is full, > i should start filling the next one.
