Guessing you can't target FP 10..
I built a column text component with pagination once upon a time, and the
easiest way I found to do it was to create the full text off-screen in one
text field that has your required width, then grab one line at a time from
the off-screen text field and add it to the on-screen text until you run out
of lines available on-screen, checking to see what HTML tags were
open/closed each line.  It worked, it was fairly speedy, but I was also
never fully happy with the HTML rendering -- I was pretty much confined  to
links, bold, italic and underline, and splitting those across page
boundaries was a pain.

I'm sure someone here smarter than me has a better method, but there's mine.
Either way, would be much easier to target FP 10 and use the new text
controls, build wrapping columns and just show one column at a time.
